#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
	int houryWage, hoursWeek, yearSalary;
	
	cout << "Please enter hourly wage: " << endl;
	cin >> houryWage;
	
	cout << "Please enter total amount hours per week:" << endl;
	cin >> hoursWeek;

	yearSalary = houryWage * hoursWeek * 52;

	cout << "Your yearly salary is " << yearSalary << " before taxes." << endl;

	return 0;

}

I know its very simple but im proud i did not use any help with anything at all

great!
and congrats
that the best way
to write one and debug it is the proper procedure for any program. It is possible to write without making errors but we play it safe and check our work.

all too often software companies have several code writers that are working on their piece of the project and the software is patched together and it sometimes doesn't get retested during each phase before release.
therefore the reason for bug fixes and patches

congrats

can you please put the exact commands you used to compile this program, link this program and run this program, including any library environmental variable setups?

i am just starting on Linux but using plain C (not C++) and using GCC compiler, so I suspect my task will be similar to yours.

thanks

Not quite. For C++ one needs some additional libraries for the C++ stdlib or needs to start a specific compiler.

For your first C program, you type:

cc myprogam.c -o myprogram

more info please - what libraries/paths/env variables do I need to set? how do i link (ld?). I am using GCC C compiler and I dont even know what linker I need, I presume ld ? Alternatively can you point me to some on-line books on the topic?

thanks

None. Your distributor should have taken care of that job already.

how do i link (ld?).

The cc command, if called as above, automatically links the object file in order to produce an executable.

I am using GCC C compiler and I dont even know what linker I need, I presume ld ?

As I said, the compiler usually invokes the linker automatically for you. Unless he is told not to. If you wish to do it yourself, ld is the program.

Alternatively can you point me to some on-line books on the topic?

in C++

g++ filename.cpp -o filename

in C

the file extention is just .c and also im not sure if it works cause i heard iostream wont work also
