Question

C++ :

Find the syntax errors in the following program. For each syntax error, fix it and add a comment at the end of the line explaining what the error was.

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(){

Double a, b, c;

2=b;

cout<<"Enter length of hypotenuse"<<endl;

cin>>c>>endl;

cout>>"Enter length of a side"<<endl;

cin>>a;

double intermediate = pow(c, 2)-pow(a, 2);

b = sqrt(intermediate);

cout<<"Length of other side is:" b<<endline;

return 0;

}

Answer 1

Solution:

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(){

double a, b, c;

//Correct spelling of data type double is double not Double

b=2;

//Variable cannot be assigned to constant it should be other way around

cout<<"Enter length of hypotenuse"<<endl;

cin>>c;

//endl has to be removed after c

cout<<"Enter length of a side"<<endl;

//The operator after cout should be << not >>

cin>>a;

double intermediate = pow(c, 2)-pow(a, 2);

b = sqrt(intermediate);

cout<<"Length of other side is:" <<b<<endl;

//endl should be used to end a line not endline,b should be preceded by <<

return 0;

}

Output:
