Does this program work, or is it my compilier?

Hello everyone, new guy on the forum here. I've looked all over youtube and google as well, but I cannot seem to find what is going on with my program. Essentially, what it is supposed to do is that the user inputs a number, lets say 12.2845. This is supposed to be a weight in kg. Then the program is to print kg and a converted kg into lbs, while limiting the decimal places to just 2 decimal places.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
 
using namespace std; 

int main()
{
cout << "Enter a weight in kilograms to convert into pounds.\n\n";
double kg;
cin >> kg;
double lbs = kg * 2.2;
    std::cout<<std::fixed;
    std::cout<<std::setprecision(2);
    
    std::cout<<"kg = "<< kg;
    std::cout<<"lbs = "<< lbs;

  return 0;
}

But what doesn't work with it?

You can print an extra newline between line 16 and 17 to make it look nicer.

So my compiler is showing this:

Enter a weight in kilograms to convert into pounds.

12.3456
kg = 12
lbs = 27
lbs = 27.160320

Well, just to be clear: Your compiler doesn't run your program or output its code, you do. Your compiler just creates the program.

What compiler is it? If you're working in an IDE, try doing a "clean" of your project, there might be something misconfigured and it's using an older version of your code.

Well I'll be damned, I ran it in the program that this website has, and it does it correctly. I guess its just the shitty website that I am learning c++ on.

For about US$12 you can buy yourself a USB stick with a fairly large capacity. Then download and install Clang++ on it.

Unless your computer access is really locked down, you should be able to open the command prompt and do everything you want from the USB drive.

Oh, also. I recommend a good text editor, like Notepad++.

Or something like Code::Blocks
