Hey I bought the book C++ for the absolute beginner second edition by Mark Lee. I am in the first chapter trying to build the simple game. I am new at this and am lost. fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source? Don't know what this means.... Here is my program thanks so much for any help guys!!!!

 #include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main(void) //tells a pirate story
{
	using std::cout;
	using std::cin;
	using std::string;
	int buddies;
	int afterBattle;
	string exit;
	cout<< "you are a pirate and are walking"
		 << "along in the crime filled \n"
		 << "city of Havana (in 1789). "
		 << "How many of your pirate buddies \n"
		 << "do you bring along? (Any numbers between 11 and 115)\n"


//records the amount of friends you bring along
cin >> buddies;
//calculates the amount of pirates left after the battle.
after the battle = 1 + buddies - 10;


cout << "suddenly 10 musketeers jump out "
	  << "from the local tavern and \n"
	  << "draw their swords. "
	  << "10 musketeers and 10 pirates die in the \n"
	  << "battle. There are only "
	  << (buddies + 1 - 10)
	  << "pirates left. including you. \n\n";

cout << "the fallen drop a total of 107 gold coins.\n"
      << "the bounty is split evenly. which works out to "
	  << (107 / after battle) << "gold coins \n"
	  << "for each survivor.\n";
cout << "the last " << (107 % afterbattle) << "are fought over "
      << "in a big drunken brawl.\n ";
cout << "These last few coins are spent on more booze during the\n"
	  << "course of the brawl. Eventually everyone retires\n"
	  << "peacefully on the bar room floor.\n"
	  << "Another successful day as a pirate!\n"
return 0;
}


	 << (buddies + 1 - 10)
     << "pirates left, including you.\n\n";

cout << "the fallen drop a total of 107 fold coins.\n"
	  << "the loot is split evenly, which works out to "
	  << (107 / afterBattle) << "gold coins \n"
	  << "for each survivor. leaving ";
cout << (107 % afterBattle) << " unclaimed coins.\n";
	  << "how many of your pirate buddies \n"
      << "did you bring along? (Any number between 11 and 115)\n";
cout << "you and the others argue over who should get the extra \n"
	  << "coins, and soon a big drunken brawl breaks out!\n\n";
cout << "In the end, you are triumphant and "
	  << (107 / afterBattle) + (107 % afterBattle)
	  << " coins richer!\n\n";
return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "stdafx.h"

May fix it. It might have something to do with the compiler you're using. Someone else could give a more indepth answer.

I really found only minor issues ';'s missing, somehow you end your function twice. Are you certain you are compiling it as c++ code, stdafx.h shouldn't even be a c++ header ?

Im using visual studio c++ 2010.... Im just doin what the book says.

Look some of your uses of the variables:

after the battle = 1 + buddies - 10;
...
cout << "the fallen drop a total of 107 gold coins.\n"
      << "the bounty is split evenly. which works out to "
	  << (107 / after battle) << "gold coins \n"
	  << "for each survivor.\n";

Now look at the declaration of afterBattle:

int afterBattle;

You have to use the same name for the variable as your declaration.

While using Microsoft .Net framework or even the old Visual C++ 6 -- you must include microsoft's precompiled header stdafx.h for all of your programs. Instead, this is not required for other compilers, even if you use -- you will end up with an error.

[AKMafia001]

Did you got just 1 error? Really wondering!

10	    int afterBattle;
22	after the battle = 1 + buddies - 10;

If it would be afterthebattle -- maybe there would be some exceptional chance to have that variable -- perhaps with 0.01% chances or less. But this would never come true -> after the battle. It's totally against the variable declaration rules.

35	      << (107 / after battle) << "gold coins \n"

Same here!

16	         << "do you bring along? (Any numbers between 11 and 115)\n"
42	      << "Another successful day as a pirate!\n"

Don't wish to terminate them?

Perhaps you might want,

22	afterBattle = 1 + buddies - 10;

35	      << (107 / afterBattle) << "gold coins \n"

16	         << "do you bring along? (Any numbers between 11 and 115)\n";

42	      << "Another successful day as a pirate!\n";

Hope it Helpes!

As AKMafia001 hinted at, this error relates to a Microsoft Visual C++ feature which you can disable.

To disable it, right-click on your project (Not the solution) in the Visual C++ Solution Explorer window (That window will probably be along the left or right hand side of the Visual C++ layout depending on your default settings and/or whether you've customised the look to move things around)
Open the properties dialog, then navigate through the options tree to
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers. In the left-hand panel set your configuration to not using precompiled headers.

When you disable precompiled headers,the Visual C++ compiler will not look for stdafx.h
