Xcode8 - Program is not executing correctly

Question

While using Xcode8 says that it is running but there is no output.

Output:

10

Please enter the rectangle's length:

10

Please enter the rectangle's width:

The length for the rectangle is 10.00

The width for the rectangel is 10.00

The area for a rectangle is 100.00

The radius for a circle is 10.00

The area for a circle is 314.16

Program ended with exit code: 0

Wanted Output:

Please enter the rectangle's length: 10

Please enter the rectangle's width: 10

The length for the rectangle is 10.00

The width for the rectangel is 10.00

The area for a rectangle is 100.00

The radius for a circle is 10.00

The area for a circle is 314.16

Answer 1

When you use << with cout, it doesn't immediately push to the screen. A common way to send the output, as you've shown, is endl. If you don't want a line return, use flush.

cout << "Please enter the rectangle's length: " << flush;

EDIT: Xcode 8.3 seems to have new rules about cin and cout on the same line.
