[lburden]

I have tried to get this program to run can somoene help me and tell me what wrong with it. It keeps giving me 22 errors when I try to compile it.

using namespace std;

//declaration
float x1 (float, float, float);
float x2 (float, float, float);

int main()
{
float b;
float a;
float c;

//Input/Output

cout<<&quot;Enter the value of b&quot;<<endl<<endl;
cin>>b;
cout<<&quot;Enter the value of a&quot;<<endl<<endl;
cin>>a;
cout<<&quot;Enter the value of c&quot;<<endl<<endl;
cin>>c;

//Output
cout<<The value of x1 equals to &quot; <<setprecision (4)<< x1 (b,a,c) << endl<<endl;
cout<<The value of x2 equals to &quot; <<setprecision (4)<< x2 (b,a,c) << endl<<endl;

return 0;
}



//formula

float x1 (float b, float a, float c)

{
return (-b + sqrt (pow(b,2) - (4.0*a*c)))/(2.0*a);

}

A couple of quotes at the start of your two strings like so:

cout<<&quot;The value...

and all 20+ errors are gone (except that there's no x2() so the linker is not completely happy...) Hope that this helped! ;-)
