My program

I need help with my program, I don't understand why this does not work. The Content was too long, ill send the other part in another message

Part 1 of Code:

#include <windows.h>

}

else if(v==9)

There were many errors, but the one im confused with is the error, syntax error: else. I believe all my ifs and else ifs are correct, and it says im missing semicolons when I'm not, Please help

This is a Console Application

newbieg (764)

There were at least 2 problems;
Your first line needs two //, not just one
your else if(v==6) needs a { after it.

After fixing those your program will at least get to the console. You should probably give instructions on how to get a beep, the frequency needs to be between 37 through 32,767, and the duration is measured in milliseconds (so they should put in a high number)

Just a suggestion, but this could have been a much shorter code if you learn how to use arrays and loops. If you learn those then this could be done in under 170 lines of code (and that's my high guess).

I know you included the <windows.h> header, but it would have been better if you posted this in the beginner's forum, you'd have been helped sooner.

Here's an example of a loop that uses the beep function to make an RPG-style noise.

#include <iostream>
//windows.h is for the Beep
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
//--------------------
int main()
{
	int call = 37, var = 1;
	while(call<1600)
	{
		Beep(call,150);
		call+=var*2;
		var++;
		cout<<"Loop has run "<<var<<" Times\n";
	}
	return 0;
}

Thanks! I will post in the beginners forum in future posts(If I'm still one)

newbieg (764)

No problem. Hey though, I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, Beginner's forum is where I post most of my questions, It just gets higher traffic and your questions really will be answered faster there.

don't worry, i didn't find it as rude. Youdid repliy quite fast... 3 hours after my post, I appreciate that
