// This program calculates the total ticket sales after each game.

#include

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

cout << totalsold = boxsold + sidelinesold + premiumsold + generalsold;

cout << totalamount = boxsold * boxprice + sidelinesold*sidelineprice + premiumsold *premiumprice + generalsold * generalprice;

Just as a lil FYI, you can put code segments like (code) (/code) (except with the brackets).

Onward. It doesnt work because you cant set a value on a cout statement, you can add them in the same place, but can't set the value.

Here's what you could do

cout << boxsold + sidelinesold + premiumsold + generalsold << endl; //so it goes to the next line

cout << endl << boxsold * boxprice + sidelinesold*sidelineprice + premiumsold *premiumprice + generalsold * generalprice << endl;

or

totalsold = boxsold + sidelinesold + premiumsold + generalsold;
totalamount = boxsold * boxprice + sidelinesold*sidelineprice + premiumsold *premiumprice + generalsold * generalprice;

cout << totalsold << endl << endl << totalamount;

EDIT: OOOH, read the rest of the program. cout means console out, which will only display text in the console window. You don't have to use cout to set values. So you can just get rid of the cout and it'll work.

Also, why are u getting arguments through the main? I dont recall needing arguments in C++. At the end of the program you can also just put "return 0;" instead of pausing the computer then exiting. You can also set all the double values in one line like

double boxprice, boxsold, sidelineprice, sidelinesold, premiumprice, premiumsold, generalprice, generalsold, totalsold, totalamount;

totalsold = boxsold + sidelinesold + premiumsold + generalsold;
totalamount = (boxsold * boxprice) + (sidelinesold*sidelineprice) + (premiumsold *premiumprice) + (generalsold * generalprice);
