what is this 'initialiser' error in coding? (c++)

Question

while in the coding, i get several errors as i try to compile. one particular error i get which always remains without solution in "expected initiliser before...". i've went back through the beginner part of the c++, and i cannot find a fix to this problem. help please? :(

Answer 1

probably missing a ; somewhere. theres nothin else lol. if you could post the code. here or as a code. I can confirm syntactically what is causing it

Answer 2

yeah..... unless you forgot when you put it in here... Every statement in c++ ends in a ;
so
int a;
int b;
int sum;
**could also be written as
int a, b, sum;
**these should also be initialized to 0.
int a = 0;
...
the cin statements
cin >> a;

the only things that Usually dont have a ; aftern it in c++ are function or conditional bodies.
if (test){
...
} // no ; here. just for statements.

hope this helps!!

Answer 3

"#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

int a
int b
int sum

cout<<"input number to here"<<endl;
cin>>a
cout<<"input one other number"<<endl;
cin>>b

int sum=a+b

cout<<"the output is:"<<sum<<endl;

return 0;
}"
