Need help! C++ basic arithmetic

Hello, I get the right answer 12.42 but my code is wrong. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double length= 5.4; double width= 2.3; //cin >> length; //cin >> width; double area = 5.4*2.3; cout <<area; return 0; }

You should take the inputs from the user, don't define yourself. So, your code must be, #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double length; double width; cin >> length; cin >> width; double area = length*width; cout <<area; return 0; }

Sergfio I think you are trying to resolve a challenge which requires user input to create the values. Since this will be tested with hidden values, you must create a code with flexibility. Might I suggest you review the following code snippet to see if it helps. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double length, width, area; cin >> length; cin >> width; area = length * width; cout << area; return 0; }

GOD OF CONFIG It works for me. Are you putting in your numbers on separate lines? PS: If you have a questiin, create a separate post on Q&A. Don't piggy-back off an existing post
