I am very new to programing and I am in computer programing and need help with my code. we use Dev c++ and I need to make a program that will ask for the radius of a ball and what kind of ball it is then do some math and get an output. Here is what I have so far..
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define PI 3.14159265
int main()
{
//Dim variables
int radius1, radius2, ball1, ball2;
// Display message heading
cout << "Find the surface area and volume of a ball! ";
//Ask for sphere data (name and radius)
cout << "What kind of ball is it?";
cin >> ball1;
cout << "What is the radius in inches?";
cin >> radius1;
cout << "What is the seccond ball?";
cin >> ball2;
cout << "What is the radius of it?";
cin >> radius2;
//calculate sphere1 volume and surface area
SA_Sphere1 = 4.0 * PI * pow(radius1,2);
Vol_Sphere1 = 4.0/3.0 * PI * pow(radius1,3);
//calculate sphere2 volume and surface area
SA_Sphere2 = 4.0 * PI * pow(radius2,2);
Vol_Sphere2 = 4.0/3.0 * PI * pow(radius2,3);
//Report data to screen
return 0;
}
The instructor gave us some of the basics.. and when I try to run it, the line that starts SA_sphere1 shows an error

I'm assuming the problem is you haven't declare SA_Sphere as a variable.
After declaring your floats, I don't see why it shouldn't store the value correctly
//calculate sphere1 volume and surface area
float SA_Sphere1 = 4.0 * PI * pow(radius1,2);
float Vol_Sphere1 = 4.0/3.0 * PI * pow(radius1,3);
//calculate sphere2 volume and surface area
float SA_Sphere2 = 4.0 * PI * pow(radius2,2);
float Vol_Sphere2 = 4.0/3.0 * PI * pow(radius2,3);
