Hello and welcome to the forum. Please tell us what's your specific question? And this doesn't count:

rectify errors and run the prog (output)

as that's an assignment instruction.

Rather, you need to tell us in words what is tripping you up, what is not happening that you expect to happen and visa versa. You may wish to read through the 2nd link in my signature links for more tips on how to ask answerable questions. That link has helped me many times in the past and should help you too.

Also, when posting code here, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and thus will be readable -- after all, your goal is to get as many people to read your post and understand your code as possible, right?

To do this, highlight your pasted code (please be sure that it is already formatted when you paste it into the forum; the code tags don't magically format unformatted code) and then press the code button, and your code will have tags.

Another way to do this is to manually place the tags into your code by placing the tag [code] above your pasted code and the tag [/code] below your pasted code like so:

[code]
  // your code goes here
  // notice how the top and bottom tags are different
[/code]

Luck and again welcome.

Sure thing. Right after you wash my car.

The gray Ford on the left is my car; it desperately needs to be cleaned first, thank you.
