It responds 5 is 0 in base 5 with this code
EDIT: I changed rem to start with the value of num it now says five is 1 in base 2 and 50 is 0 in base 2
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int product, power;
    float num, rem;
    double answer, base, conv=1, ten, place;
power = 0;
ten = 0;
answer = 0;
    cout << "Enter number to be converted ";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "\n";
    cout << "What base do you want to put it in ";
    cin >> base;
    cout << "\n";
    rem = num;
    while(base>10)
    {
cout << "please put in a smaller base ";
cin >> base;
cout << "\n";
    }
    while(conv<=num)
    {
        power++;
        conv=conv*base;
    }
    while(rem!=0)
    {
        power--;
        conv=pow(base, power);
        place = pow(ten, power);
        product = floor(rem/conv);
        while(product >= base)
        {
            product-=1;
        }
        answer += product*place;
        rem -= product*conv;
if(power<=-20)
{
break;
}
}
cout << "Your answer is " << answer <<"\n";
cout << "\n";
system("PAUSE");
}

EDIT: I rewrote some of it and still get some errors and cause this to happen when I run the program

Enter number to be converted 50//the 50 is what I put in
What base do you want to put it in 5//the 5 is what I put in

It then leaves the cursor on the next line and runs forever without showing anything
this is my code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int product, power;
    float num, rem;
    double answer, base, conv=1, ten, place;
    cout << "Enter number to be converted ";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "\n";
    cout << "What base do you want to put it in ";
    cin >> base;
    cout << "\n";
    while(base>10)
    {
cout << "please put in a smaller base ";
cin >> base;
cout << "\n";
    }
    while(conv<=num)
    {
        power++;
        conv=conv*base;
    }
    while(rem!=0)
    {
        power--;
        conv=pow(base, power);
        place = pow(ten, power);
        product = floor(rem/conv);
        while(product >= base)
        {
            product-=1;
        }
        answer += product*place;
        rem -= product*conv;
if(power<=-20)
{
break;
}
}
cout << "Your answer is", answer;
}

Here is my new code
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int product, power;
    float num, base, rem, conv=1, place;
    double answer;
    cout << "Enter number to be converted";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "What base do you want to put it in";
    cin >> base;
    while(base>10)
    {
cout << "please put in a smaller number";
cin >> base;
    }
    while(conv<num)
    {
        power++;
        conv=conv*base;
    }
    while(rem!=0)
    {
        power-=1;
        conv=base^power;
        place = 10^power;
        product = rem/conv;
        while(product >= base)
        {
            product-=1;
        }
        answer += product*place;
        rem -= product*conv;
        if(rem<0)
        {
            answer -= product*place;
            rem += product*conv;
            break;
        }
    }
}

How to you raise a number to an exponent in C++?

EDIT: the includes are what my book said to do

EDIT 2 what is a good compiler to use?

I am working on my first real C++ Project a base to base converter that will work with all real numbers 36 and other.
This is the beginning of my code. currently it should only supports numbers from 1 to 10
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int product, power;
    float num, rem;
    double answer, base, conv=1, ten, place;
power = 0;
ten = 10.0;
answer = 0;
    cout << "Enter number to be converted ";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "\n";
    cout << "What base do you want to put it in ";
    cin >> base;
    cout << "\n";
rem = num;
    while(base>10)
    {
cout << "please put in a smaller base ";
cin >> base;
cout << "\n";
    }
    while(conv<=num)
    {
        power++;
        conv=conv*base;
    }
    while(rem!=0)
    {
        power--;
        conv=pow(base, power);
        place = pow(ten, power);
        product = floor(rem/conv);
        while(product >= base)
        {
            product-=1;
        }
        answer += product*place;
        rem -= product*conv;
if(power<=-20)
{
break;
}
}
cout << "Your answer is " << answer <<"\n";
cout << "\n";
system("PAUSE");
}
I'm using codeblocks with the gnu gcc compiler it returns this error when I try to compile please help
"B2B - Release" uses an invalid compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.EDIT: I am now using Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010 and have a succesful beta build which I have attached here. Updated my code above
EDIT2:Here is the code for my Quadratic Solver
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
float bs, cs, s, ra, rb, a, b, c, h, k;
cout << "What is a? ";
cin >> a;
cout << "What is b? ";
cin >> b;
cout << "\n";
cout << "What is c? ";
cin >> c;
cout << "\n";
bs = b/a;
cs = -1*c/a+pow(bs, 2)/4;
s = sqrt(cs);
ra = bs/2+s;
rb = bs/2-s;
h=bs/2;
k=a*pow(bs, 2)/4+c;
cout << "The First Root is" << ra << "\n";
cout << "the Second Root is" << rb << "\n";
cout << "Vertex is (" << h << "," << k << ")" << "\n";
system("Pause");
}I attached the .exe for this also

wish I had known that I've been bug checking so much...
Wonder what the next question will be???

what pph is the acid? and is it called a controlled substance in the US?

EDIT: I meant ph not pph

i'm working just not having much time trying to learn C++ and my compiler won't work so reinstalling it and my IDE.
Have Algebra work and English Homework
I'm making a little headway should be done soon if I have time to work on it
