can't get sample code to compile

[EEVIAC]

Here is some sample code out of a book that won't compile.. The error says that it can't find the "xxx.exe" file that I'm trying to compile/run.

[code]


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int stonetolb(int);
int main()
{
int stone;
cout << "Enter the weight in stone: ";
cin >> stone;
pounds = stonetolb(stone);
cout << stone << " stone are ";
cout << pounds << " pounds.\n";
return 0;
}

int stonetolb(int sts)
{
return 14 * sts;
}


[/code]



The output is suppose to be:

Enter the weight in stone: 14
14 stone are 196 pounds.

Sorry.. The following is the right code out of the book..

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int stonetolb(int);

int main()
{
int stone;
cout << "Enter the weight in stone: ";
cin >> stone;
int pounds = stonetolb(stone);
cout << stone << " stone are ";
cout << pounds << " pounds.\n";
return 0;
}

int stonetolb(int sts)
{
return 14 * sts;
}

I'm sorry.. I don't know what the problem was before, but it's working now... ; (

EEVIAC, there's no point to bumping your thread every 3 minutes, someone will eventually respond, it may take 15mins it may take 6 hours.

Or it might never happen. But when I see a bump I feel strongly unwilling to respond.
and @OP: You are using code tags wrong. Most tags don't nest; by bolding the tag you prevent it from wrapping your code. You can bold stuff in code tags but you can't bold the tags themselves.
