C++ problems?

I am trying to brush up on C++, which I haven't used in 5 years. I am having problems with the following. Does anyone see the problem in this code? ("sqr(x) is defined in macro.h)





#include "stdafx.h"


#include "macro.h"


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;cmath%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main()


{


float a, b, c, result;


char side;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"For which side are you trying to solve - a, b, or c? \n";


cin%26gt;%26gt;side;


if (side == 'a')


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " b = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; b;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " c = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; c;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((sqr(c))-(sqr(b)));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side a = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





else if (side == 'b')


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " a = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; a;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " c = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; c;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((sqr(c))-(sqr(a)));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side a = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " a = ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;a;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " b = ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;b;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((sqr(a))+(sqr(b)));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side b = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;





}





return 0

C++ problems?
Your parentheses are all messed up.





All three lines of result need to be fixed...or maybe just 2.





You don't need to define a method to do "sqr"





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;cmath%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main()


{


float a, b, c, result;


char side;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"For which side are you trying to solve - a, b, or c? \n";


cin%26gt;%26gt;side;


if (side == 'a')


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " b = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; b;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " c = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; c;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((c*c)-(b*b));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side a = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





else if (side == 'b')


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " a = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; a;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " c = ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; c;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((c*c)-(a*a));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side a = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; " a = ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;a;


cout %26lt;%26lt; " b = ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;b;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;





result = sqrt((a*a)+(b*b));


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Side b = "%26lt;%26lt;result%26lt;%26lt;endl;





}





return 0;
