So I perused some of the other articles, but I can't seem to find a reason to why this won't work. I am new to C++ so be kind please.
// User Pay.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// This program calculates the user's pay.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double hours, rate, pay;
// Get the number of hours worked.
cout << "how many hours did you work? ";
cin >> hours;
// Get the hourly pay rate.
cout << "How much do you get paid per hour? ";
cin >> rate;
//C alculates the Pay.
pay = hours * rate;
// Display the pay.
cout << "You have earned $" << pay << endl;
return 0;
}
Try creating an empty project (uncheck precompiled headers). then copy your code but delete #include "stdafx.h".
