You didn't end any of your lines... Is that what you mean by text running together?

You used the \n escape code in lines 13, 14, 15, 16, and 20 but never again. You could either add in \n to the end of your string literals or put a endl into the cout steam buffer.

ex.
1
2
3
4
5
 
cout << "Whatever \n" << "Something Else \n"; // If you want the escape code style.

//or

cout << "Whatever " << endl << "Something Else " << endl; //If you want the endl way



Just so you know, your code up there won't actually compile because of line 67... You forgot whatever operator you were going to use.

Also you made your responses all double variables. You realize that you are asking for answers in strings right? That will automatically terminate your program if someone doesn't put a double in as a response to for example: what is your name?

I dunno about you but my name is not of type double...

Good luck,
Sean

Thanks Sean. This is literally my first program ever and my first time coming to cplusplus.com for help. I believe I fixed \n escape code and added the #include <string> and finished my operation on line 67 which is now on line 72 I believe. I'm still getting this output though. any more suggestions.

thanks again,
Wes

Yeah, what I was talking about your variable declarations at the beginning of int main()

1
2
3
4
 
int main ()
{
double tickets, credits, cost,
name, response;


What you are doing here is declaring all of your variables of type double.

If you don't know what type is:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/variables/

What you need to do is one of the most important parts of your program - saying what values these variables can and can't take.

For example let's look at my quip about how my name is not of type double.

I assume you read that tutorial, but in case it wasn't clear, double is C++ for a double floating point variable. Which means it can be a decimal number for example 3.456.

So you declared the variable "name" to need to be a double floating point variable, meaning it can only be a decimal number like 3.434. Unfortunately, you then wanted the client to input their name into a variable that can only hold decimal digits.

Your user inputs his name in letters. This throws what is called an exception and terminates your program.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, you need to declare something to hold names which are of type char *

Therefore you could either take the C route (which I don't advise yet) or the C++ string route.

Since you now have included <string> you can create string objects.

They are super easy to do.

string mystring = "This is a string"; // mystring is the name of your string.

So in the case of your program you have the following variables:
tickets,
credits,
cost,
name,
response;
Each of these needs a type based on what data you want to store in it. But I'll leave you to take it from here.

I highly recommend using the tutorial on this website to guide you as you learn C++.

Good luck, Have Fun with C++,
Sean
