running program

[sean903]

I have trouble running this program. I get an error saying "end of file found before the left brace '{' "

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num, product = 10;

cout << "Enter value "
<<"(enter -1 if done) : ";
cin >> num;
cout << endl;


while (num != -1)

{
product = product * num;
cout << "The product is " << product << endl;
break;
cout << "Enter next value "
<< "(enter -99 if done) : ";
cin >> num;
}

Add a closing bracket on line 23:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num, product = 10;

cout << "Enter value "
<<"(enter -1 if done) : ";
cin >> num;
cout << endl;


while (num != -1)

{
product = product * num;
cout << "The product is " << product << endl;
break;
cout << "Enter next value "
<< "(enter -99 if done) : ";
cin >> num;
}
} //<---------------------------------

Yep, your "while" loop has braces, but your "main" function is missing a closing brace. Hence, the error.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  int num, product = 10;

  cout << "Enter value "
    <<"(enter -1 if done) : ";
  cin >> num;
  cout << endl;


  while (num != -1)
  {
    product = product * num;
    cout << "The product is " << product << endl;
    break;
    cout << "Enter next value "
        << "(enter -99 if done) : ";
    cin >> num;
  }
  return 0;
}

Also, take a walk through your loop and notice that it will never run more than once.
