What is wrong in this code

[TheArk]

Can anyone tell me what is coded wrong in this program for it to exit immediately after I enter the value for costShares? I have gone over and over and cannot seem to find anything that would cause this, but yet again am sure it is something obvious.

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

int numberShares;
int costShares;

string stockName;
string stockSymbol;

int main()

{
	cout << "enter name of stock";
	cin >> stockName;

	cout << "enter company stock symbol";
	cin >> stockSymbol;

	cout << "number of shares purchased";
	cin >> numberShares;

	cout << "cost per shares";
	cin >> costShares;

	cout << "what is the commission rate?";
	cin >> commisionRate;


	
	return 0;
}

You don't have a variable for commisionRate;
Simple as that!

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

int numberShares;
int costShares;
int commisionRate;


string stockName;
string stockSymbol;

int main()

{
	cout << "enter name of stock";
	cin >> stockName;

	cout << "enter company stock symbol";
	cin >> stockSymbol;

	cout << "number of shares purchased";
	cin >> numberShares;

	cout << "cost per shares";
	cin >> costShares;

	cout << "what is the commission rate?";
	cin >> commisionRate;



	return 0;
}

Add the following at line 29 and 30 to prevent the code from closing immediately:

int temp;
cin >> temp;

Also not sure if this is related to your problem, but you are using cin >> to get a string from the user. If the user inputs more than 1 word, it will cause lines in your code to skip over one another. To solve this, you could use the std::getline(cin, inputStringHere) to get a string from the user.

EDIT: Also make sure you've declared commisionRate somewhere otherwise your code won't run.

Okay thanks that is a start, here is what it looks like after adding variable for commisionRate; however I am still doing something wrong as it continues to end the program after I enter numberShares value

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

int numberShares;
int costShares;
int commisionRate;

string stockName;
string stockSymbol;

int main()

{
	cout << "enter name of stock";
	cin >> stockName;

	cout << "enter company stock symbol";
	cin >> stockSymbol;

	cout << "number of shares purchased";
	cin >> numberShares;

	cout << "cost per shares";
	cin >> costShares;

	cout << "what is the commission rate?";
	cin >> commisionRate;


	
	return 0;
}
