Enter the following program into the Visual Studio .NET environment. Save it as a source file on the C: disk (replacing "your name" with your own name and replacing the words "description in your own words" with your own description of what the program does).  I recommend making a folder to hold your program files; choose some name you will remember for the folder.  Name the source file yourname-ex1.cpp where "yourname" is replaced with your last name - I would name my source file wolfe-ex1.cpp.  Compile, link, and execute the program.  Note:  you will get a warning message when you compile (and probably two warnings when you link).

//  your name
//  18 January 2008
//  description in your own words
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

const double     DEBT = 500.00;          // Amount owed
const double     PAYMENT = 45.76;        // Payment amount
const double     INTEREST = 0.0247;      // Interest rate

int main()
{
     double     charge;      // Interest part of payment
     float      reduction;   // Amount the debt is reduced
     double     remain;      // Amount still owed

     charge = INTEREST * DEBT;
     reduction = PAYMENT - charge;
     remain = DEBT - reduction;
     cout << "Payment:  $" << PAYMENT
          << "  Interest charge:  $" << charge
          << "  Balance owed:  $" << remain << endl;
     return 0;
}

 When you are finished, copy the .cpp file to the Z: disk; put it in the folder

       Z:\jlwolfe\cosc110\secX\ex1\

where "secX" is either sec1 or sec2 depending on your section.  Do NOT try to do this copying from the Visual Studio environment - close the solution and use Windows Explorer or My Computer to do the copying.  Then, go back to the program (restart the Visual C++ environment, if necessary) and try to make a change which will eliminate the warning message that you received when compiling.  Also, see what happens when you leave the   << endl   out of the second to last line.  (You still need the semicolon at the end.)
