C++ programming question?

I was doing this program on Visual Studio 2005 where the program converts C to F and vise versa but after debugging it, it doesnt give the expected result. Could someone tell me what is wrong with my code???








#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;iomanip%26gt;





using namespace::std;


using std::fixed;





int main()


{


int conversionType = 0;


double temp = 0.0;


double result = 0.0;





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter -1 (F to C) or 2 (C to F): ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; conversionType;


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter temperature: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; temp;





if (conversionType == '-1')


{


result = (temp - 32) * 5 / 9 ;


}


else if (conversionType == '2')


{


result = temp * 9/5 + 32;





} //end if





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Result: " %26lt;%26lt; result %26lt;%26lt; endl;





return 0;


} //end of main function

C++ programming question?
I'm not a c++ programmer but if your converstionType is an integer, why are you comparing it to a string? (conversionType == '2').

Reply:You're comparing the integer "conversionType" to a character in each of your if statements. Remove the quotes.
Reply:You are not pausing the prompt so that it can show the output. Add one of these


system ("PAUSE");


cin.ignore();


cin.get();


above return 0.





I use Dev C++, so I use system ("PAUSE"). You use something else, so these commands may not work. If they don't, then this definitely will.


It will hold the session until the user presses a key and since there is no more code after it, it will close the window.


Also, remove the quote or else it will return 0 regardless of what you put in.
