Fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file

[shashahayes]

This is the message I am getting when I try to compile it.

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?

Your variable names are not allowed to have spaces: wood type. Use woodtype or WoodType pr wood_type.

Also, your if statements are not correct. The condition has to be in parentheses.

if (A == 3) etc.....

not

if A == 3

Thank you so much. I am having alot of trouble and I appreciate all your help!

You have created a Windows Console Application rather than a Console Application.

The easiest thing for a beginner is to create a new project as follows:

1) Create a Win32 project.
2) When the wizard appears DO NOT CLICK FINISH.
3) Instead, click Application Settings
4) Select: Console Application and Empty Project
5) Click Finish.

This removes the stdafx.h and pre-compiled header requirements.

BTW: When you run the program be sure to use Start Without Debugging. That will cause VC++ to stop execution at the end of main() so you can see what happened. If you just Start, all you will see is a black flash as your program executed. You select Start when you are using your debugger.

Thanks again. I got past the intial problem with your help. Now I am getting a different message. If you could add some insight to what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate it !

The compiler got in trouble on lin 19 of furniture.cpp.

What is that line? The error is there or it is earlier than line 19.

The other errors are irrelevant. Often these are caused as a result iof the first error.

What you do is fix the first error and rebuild. Then fix the first error and rebuild. Etc... At some point all the subsequent errors just vanish.

Here is what I got now, I changed the wood type to WoodType and I still get an error.

Thanks agaian, I know this must seem elementry to you but I am really confused

[weaknessforcats]

Look at this code:

string WoodType = 'oak'; 

A literal string needs double quotes rather than single quotes. Single quotes are for single characters.

Try:

string WoodType = "oak"; 

Also, there is one place wheere you have WoodTyp rather than WoodType.

Gotta be careful. The compiler is really fussy.

[shashahayes]

I got past the string problem. Thanks I don't how it would have took me without your help!!! Now my problem has moved down to line 25, 26, 28. Do you see what I did wrong?

// Furniture.cpp - This program calculates prices for custom made tables.
 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
 
{
     double Charge = 0.0;
        double Length = 50;
     double Width = 40;
        double Area = 0.0;
     string WoodType1 = "'oak'";    
     string WoodType2 = "'mahogany'";
     string WoodType3 = "'pine'";
        double leaves = 2;      
 
      const double charge = 150.00
      if area  > 750 than charge = 200
      if WoodType2 = mahogany then charge 350
      if WoodType1 = oak then charge = 250
      if leaves = #*50 + charge
 
 
 
 
   // Output charge for this table
   cout << "The charge for this table is $" << charge << endl;
   return(0); 
}
 

Here are the errors now.

Please read about syntax before you try to use it.

I said in an earlier post that an if statement has the condition inside parentheses:

if (Test == true)
{
 
}

and not

if Test == true
{
 
}

Carefully look at your code.
