I've got this practice problem working nearly 100%, however the program outputs a crazy number after the first two inputs are received(I've seen . Any tips?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using std::cout;	using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
	double x;
	double y;
	double z;
	double answer;

	cout << "Please enter a number, 0 to exit program:" << endl;
	cin >> x;
	if (x == 0)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	cout << "Please enter another number, or 0 to exit: " << endl;
	cin >> y;
	if (y == 0)
	{
		return 0;
	}
	
	cout << x << '+ ' << y << '= ' << x + y << endl; // I believe the  
        //   problem is here, just can't see what the exact issue is.
        // It outputs numbers like 1110401156482.

	answer = x + y;

	cout << "And another number" << endl;
	cin >> z;

	while (z != 0)
	{
		cout << "answer + z = " << answer + z << endl;
		answer += z;

		cout << "And another number, zero exits the program: " << endl;
		cin >> z;

	}

	return 0;
}


I thought I had a decent handle on this but this kind of wall gets slightly
frustrating haha, any help would be awesome!

line 28, you are supposed to use double quotes, not single quotes.

thank you very much, I knew that line was the issue! Just needed a more experienced eye to call me out on my syntax. Thanks again!
