Just learning C++, and I'm enjoying making my first program it's not much, it just solves math problems I'm having some issues with the distance formula as far as I know my logic is right sqrt((x2-x1)+(y2-y1))
. However I am getting the error
error C2113: '-' : pointer can only be subtracted from another pointer which is throwing me off.
BONUS question... if anybody could point me to a method of directing users back to the first menu when they have finished with a previous selection that would be cool. I'm assuming some sort of loops but I haven't covered that yet in my C++ class.
Here is the code(sorry if it is messy but I haven't learned proper formatting yet)
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>

int selection;
int choice;
int choice2;
double height;
double length;
double a;
double x;
double y;
double const pi = 3.14;
double r;
double m;
double x1;
double x2;
double y1;
double y2;
double distance;
