can anyone tell me why it won't compile in unix ?

heres my program:

// ------------------------------------------------------------------

// calculate the number of credit hours taken.

You have missing semicolons on a number of rows. You also use the wrong getline function. cin.getline(Name); should be getline(cin, Name);. You have also misspelled some of the variables.

You need to include #include <iomanip> and you need to define qualityPts.

thanks guys. i fixed everything you all pointed out but im still getting this error : mygpa.cpp: In function `int main()':
mygpa.cpp:56: warning: assignment to `int' from `float'
mygpa.cpp:56: warning: argument to `int' from `float'.

this is my edited code:

figured it out, couple of variables my teacher gave us to use weren't compatible. Thanks for the help.
