Answer 1

Well sorry, I didn't come with a solution, rather to notify that your code contains invalid characters that will prevent code execution. Try to view the code under ASCII encoding or ISO-8859-1 you'll see these characters. You need to fix that first before anyone here can help you with it.
Good luck! 👍

P.S. You forgot to close the main function - no ending curly brackets in main.

Answer 2

@ipang, I had run this code on CodeBlocks and it wasn't giving any compilation errors, nor did it crash during run time. I might have forgotten to put the braces in the main function while copying the code so that's not that big of a deal.
I think my code has a logical error but I can't seem to figure out what it is

Answer 3

Yusha Arif,
Well, if you are sure your code will run with CodeBlocks then I guess there will be someone who uses that IDE who can help you with that problem, just be patient.

Answer 4

Ipang, i dont think the problem lies in wheather i am using codeblocks, visual studio, devc or anyother IDE. The problem lies in the code itself irrespective of the IDE on which its written. All you need is familiarization with the c++ language. And yes, i am in no hurry and will wait for a reply that can directly answer the question. Btw, thanks for you help!!
