Basic Calculator, help please!

[Anthony237]

Hello! I need some help on this code I currently have for my basic calculator task.

Here is the code, the blanks (___) is what I have troubles on what to put in those spaces:

#include <iostream>

___multiply(int x, int y)
{
_______ x_y;
}
___divide(int x, int y)
{
_______ x_y;
}
___add(int x, int y)
{
_______x_y;
}

___subtract(int x,int y)
{
_______x_y;
}

using namespace std;

___ ____()
{
___op='c':
___x, y;
while(op!='e')
{
cout_"What operation would you like to perform: add (+), subtract (-), divide (/),multiply(*), [e]xit?";
cin_op
switch(op)
{
___ '+':
cin__x;
cin__y;
cout__x__ "+" __y__ "=" __add(x, y)__endl_
break;
_____'-':
cin__x;
cin__y;
cout__x__ "-" __y__ "=" __subtract(x, y)__endl_
break;
_____'/':
cin__x;
cin__y;
cout__x__ "/" __y__ "=" __divide(x, y)__endl_
break;
_____'*':_
cin__x;
cin__y;
cout__x__ "*" __y__ "=" __multiply(x, y)__endl_
break;
_____'e':
_____;
_____:
cout_"Sorry, try again"__endl
}
}
return_;

If someone can help me out here I would really appreciate it. :)

lol.
doesn't your reference specify that operator<<() is used with ostream ?
any way, the first function should be:

int multiply( int x , int y )
{
    return x * y;
}

complete the remaining functions on your own, move down after the using statement.

#define WHATEVER_TO_COUT "some statement.\n"
int main()
{
    std::cout << WHATEVER_TO_COUT ;
    char op = NULL;
    int x , y;
    std::cin >> x >> op >> y;
    double result;
    switch(op)
    {
     case '*':
          result = multiply(x,y);
          break;
     }
    return 0;
}

i dealt with this question like being from a beginner, even though it looks like a prank-ing question.

are you coming from a different language and starting C++ from the bottom ?

Thanks for the reply, yeah I'm starting from the bottom with this language. I was doing Visual Basic programs before but C++ is a whole new thing to me.

Okay I got the first part, didn't think it was just a little thing to get it going

int multiply(int x, int y)
{
return x_y;
}
int divide(int x, int y)
{
return x_y;
}
int add(int x, int y)
{
return x_y;
}

int subtract(int x,int y)
{
return x_y;
}

I'll move down and give the functions after the using statement a crack.

dude, i suggest you go get a reference.
you can't learn programming just like that.

download "C++ Primer (5th edition)- Stanley B. Lippman"

i heard a word around about a 6th edition, maybe it covers the 2011 standard.
