Code:

#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{

cout << "Hello User!" " My name is JCoA\n" "There are many things that I can help you with\n" "I can do things such as: \n" "\n" "-Multiply\n" "-Divide\n" "-Add\n" "-Subtract\n";
system("pause");
delay(2000);
return 0;

}

It worked until I added the "delay(2000);" a member of CEF told me that it would work but I have had no luck with it.

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello User!" << " My name is JCoA\n" << "There are many things that I can help you with\n" << "I can do things such as: \n" << "\n" "-Multiply\n" "-Divide\n" "-Add\n" "-Subtract\n";
std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();
return 0;
}

If you want a delay, #include <windows.h> and use the Sleep API

Also, in case you didn't notice, he dropped your system("pause") command, and replaced it with a much better way of doing it.

If you want to know why it's so bad, Gewgle is your friend.

Thanks guys, another question I have is how would I include two headers in 1 script so I can write things onto the screen with the iostream.h header and use the sleep API with windows.h (I'm fairly new to C++)

(I'm fairly new to C++)

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

//rest of your code here

Then why won't this work:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(void)
{
cout << "Hello User!" " My name is JCoA\n" "There are many things that I can help you with\n" "I can do things such as: \n" "\n" "-Multiply\n" "-Divide\n" "-Add\n" "-Subtract\n";
sleep(2000);
system("pause");
return 0;
}

I keep getting an error in line 7 known as line undeclared

Iono if that may be the error...

But, you have no included in that code "using namespace std;"

so cout, would be std::cout

1. You're not including the std namespaces to gain cout's function so for one you have to replace it with std::cout
2. Your Breaking your strings and putting a new string, either make it one full string or add << between strings (like i used for the first reply)
3. C++ is CASE SENSITIVE! the API's name is Sleep not sleep
4. Don't use system("pause"), you have so much else that you could use

std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();
-------------------
(conio.h) _getch();
-------------------
(tchar.h) gettchar();
-------------------
etc.

Should Look like this

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello User!" << " My name is JCoA\n" << "There are many things that I can help you with\n" << "I can do things such as: \n" << "\n" "-Multiply\n" "-Divide\n" "-Add\n" "-Subtract\n";
Sleep(2000);
std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();
return 0;
}

1. <iostream> not <iostream.h>
2. std::cout
3.

Code:

sleep(2000);
system("pause");

(also it should be Sleep, CAPITAL S)
is a gross way to do it, use this instead:

Code:

std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();

4. Your cout is all broken up needlessly, though I don't think it will really care. Why do things wrong when you can be right, though.

e: and I got the shit beat out of me because I didn't read the topic.

I did wonder why he did those strings "jump" i means, without the <<. But i did wanted to test, and the way he have it, works perfectly.
