Hello,

I justed started a C++ course & I wrote, compiled, debugged & ran my first program:

// This program calculates how much a little league team spent last year to purchase new baseballs.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int baseballs;
int cost;
int total;
int main()
{
    baseballs, cost, total;

    // Get the number of baseballs were purchased.
    cout << "How many baseballs were purchased? "; 
    cin >> baseballs;

    // Get the cost of baseballs purchased.
    cout << "What was the cost of each baseball purchased? ";
    cin >> cost;

    // Calculate the total.
    total = baseballs * cost;

    // Display the total.
    cout << "The total amount spent $" << total << endl;
    return 0;
}

The only probelm that I encountered was that when I ran the program it failed to display the total amount spent (cout). Could someone please explain why?

Thanks
