Calculating the average of two numbers using C++

Though this site aims at understanding C language, I am writing a program for you in C++, to have a general idea about C++ too.
A program in C++,to calculate the average of two numbers, which are entered by the keyboard while the execution of the program.
Try to understand the program;

#include < iostream >
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    float num1,num2,average,sum;
    cout << "Enter the first number:";
    cin >> num1;
    cout << "Enter the second number:";
    cin >> num2;
    sum=num1+num2;
    average=sum/2;
    cout << "The sum of the two numbers is:"<< sum<<"\n"<<"The average of the two numbers is:" << average;
return(0);
}






Explaination:


The new file header used here in this C++ program is the #include. By this , we are asking the preprocessor to add the contents of the iostream file to our program.

The program is written in the main() function , just like in C.

The variables are defined as float in the same manner.

Here in C++ we use cout and cin operators for output and input respectively. These are parallel to the printf and scanf in C.
In the last cout statement the output is cascaded using the cout operator.which is new in the C++ .

As the main() function is integer type , it returns a zero value which is written as return(0)

Finding the arithmetic operators

Below is a very simple program to find the arithmetic operator. Please feel free to put a comment if need an explanation. #include #include void main()   {     float a1,a2;     char operator;     printf("\n Enter the values of a1 operator a2\n");     scanf("%f%c%f",&a1,&operator,&a2);     switch(operator)      { case '+': printf("%.2f",a1+a2); break; case '-':  printf("%.2f",a1-a2);  break; case '*':  printf("%.2f",a1*a2); break; case '/':  if(a2==0)  printf("error\n");  else  printf("%.2f",a1/a2);  break; default: printf("unknown operatotr\n"); break;      }    }
