Hi there,

Welcome to the forums. Please wrap your code in [code][/code]-tags, it makes it more readable. Also, please describe your problem clearly and specifically. You mention that there is a problem with the program - what sort of problem? Does the program compile, if not, which errors do you get? If the program compiles, does it crash, again which errors do you get? If the program runs fine but it gives you unexpected output, please tell us which output you expect and which output you are getting.

All the best,
NwN
