cout<<"You pay 90%"<<endl;

}

i get two errors. whats wrong wid the code

What errors?

I'm not really into programming anymore, but I assume this info would help the programming gurus answer your question.

[Girl_needs_help]

here is the complete list of errors that i got when i tried compiling the program:
************************************************************ ********
Linking...
calcutaing salary.obj : error LNK2005: _main already defined in book practise.obj

Debug/Book practise.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
Error executing link.exe.

not suppose to have ";" after the if statement.

[Girl_needs_help]

no use, i removed the ";" sign but its of no use, i still get the same errors.

Well, I believe you have a few errors. First of all, the semicolons on the if statements. Second, the cin operator does not output code. You should have written:

cout << "Enter your wage: ";
cin >> wage;

Also, your main functions is declared as an integer type. Therefore, the function MUST return a value. Try sticking a return 0 statement at the end of your code. That should work.

[punkrawk]

return 0;

to be exact.

anyway, have u tried getting a compiler that tells u what kind of error its getting? i like visual c++ and ive also used codewarrior. that one will tell u if its a delaration syntax error, ; expected before statement, etc. both are quite nice, try out each one, and consider puyrchasing the one u like the most.

Fixed (I believe):

#include <iostream.h>
//#include <stdafx.h> /* This header file is needed in Visual C++ as far as i know, if you're not using it just leave it commented*/
int main ()

{
int earn=0;

cin >> "Enter your wage";
if(earn<6000)
cout << "\nYou dont pay tax" << endl;
if((earn>5000) && (earn<20000));
cout << "\nYou have to pay 20%" << endl;
if(earn>=20000)
cout << "\nYou pay 90%" << endl;

return 0;
}

/*Try and use more spaces in your coding, it will help a lot and remember to define your variables by giving them a value*/

Next time try posting your Question HERE!!

Nope you don't have to include it not in the last few versions I've used any way.

Try this, looks like it should work.

#include<iostream.h>
int main ()

{
int earn = 0;

cout << "Enter your wage: ";
cin >> earn;
if (earn<6000)
cout<<"You dont pay tax."<<endl;
if ((earn>5000) && (earn<20000))
cout<<"You have to pay 20%."<<endl;
if (earn>=20000)
cout<<"You pay 90%."<<endl;

return 0;

}
