EDN Admin · Jan 12, 2012

I am using visual express 2010 and when I have trialed vs2010 I am finding there are always issues with the libraries. Can any one pls help. Also- how do I paste this without it becoming 2 miles long?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
<span style="white-space

re int gender();
<span style="white-space

re
cout<<"Many years ago a baby was born.n";
cout<<"gender:n";
cin>> gender;

if (int gender = 1)
cout<<"A bouncing baby boy.n";
{
<span style="white-space

re if (int gender=0)
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"A beautiful baby girl.n";
<span style="white-space

re else
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"It was a beast childn";
}

while (int gender=2)

<span style="white-space

re int beast();
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"The childbeast grew over time and became :n";
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"0=foul, 1= vile, 2= violent.n";
<span style="white-space

re cin>> beast;
<span style="white-space

re if (int beast=0)
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"foul; but there was hope for it yet.n";
<span style="white-space

re {
<span style="white-space

re if (int beast =1 )
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"vile.n";
<span style="white-space

re else
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"violent ! And was a terror to the village.";
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"This child beast reigned with fear under it disappeared one day never to return.n";}

<span style="white-space

re int boy();
<span style="white-space

re while (int gender =1)
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"The baby grew and grew into a handsome young man.... until he becamen";
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"input :0= gay and wore makeup , 1=he suicided, 2= foul.n";
<span style="white-space

re cin>>boy;
<span style="white-space

re if (int boy=0)
<span style="white-space

re cout<<" gay, wore makeup and travelled the country side looking for festivals to dance and party at. He was never heard from again.n";
<span style="white-space

re {if (int boy=1)
<span style="white-space

re cout<<"suicidal and he suicided. All the townsfolk were so upset they suicided to and the land was restored to its pristine condition without the human prescence.n";
<span style="white-space

re else
<span style="white-space

re return ( beast=0);}
<span style="white-space

re

return 0;
