Compiler errors

[David623]

I cannot see why this will not compile. I got 24 errors.

// The program will read two integers form the user's input and compare those //
// two integers and subtract the smaller integer number from the large integer number. //

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

	int first;
	int second;
	int difference;
	int different;
	cout << "Enter the first integer number ";
	cin >> first;
	cout << "Enter the second integer number ";
	cin >> second;
	if (first < second)
	{
		different = second - first;
	 cout << "You entered ";
	 cout << second << " and " << first << endl;
	 cout << "The difference between the second number and the first number is ";
	 cout << different << endl;
    }
	else
	{
	  difference = first - second;
	  cout << "You entered ";
	  cout << first << " and " << second << endl;
	  cout << "The difference between the first number and the second number is ";
	  cout << difference << endl;

	}
	return 0;
}

First of all, you don't have your main function bracketed correctly. On line 6, try this instead:

int main(){


EDIT: Just by adding that bracket, the program compiles and runs correctly.

Thank you very much. I am trying to understand C++, but it is very different.

No problem! I understand completely how hard it is to see one little thing amongst the rest of your code. You were very, very close to finished, though, so good job!
