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.

I've spent upwards of 12 hours straight trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and have been working on this program on and off for about a week now. Assignment is due early tomorrow morning, any help at all would be appreciated, I'm really desperate to pass.
When debugging, I found that the program breaks when I scan for data for p_rectangle->length/width, I'm sure it has something to do with how I set up main() or memory allocation, but I just can't figure it out.
Thanks guys.

There are two problems here:
You don't need to specify "struct" again when declaring a variable of type rectangle.
You should always define a variable before you use it. In the case with pointers, you can allocate it on the free store.
So, the solution is this:
rectangle *p_rectangle = new rectangle;
I am a newbie in C++ and I am quite confused in programmer - defined functions.
It shows these errors
40 [Error] cannot convert 'double' to 'double(double, double)' in assignment
40 [Error] assignment of function 'double total_area(double, double)'
I cannot enter total_area = cross_area + side_area;
If I try to remove the double, it results to more errors
I can't find any information in youtube or in google that seems helpful.

in your code, you have not passed any argument to total_area function. How do you think you will calculate area without passing arguments.

This is my first C++ programming practice. When I run this it displays "Enter the length of the side" and "Which figure's area are you calculating? ". I enter 3 and square but the only result I can get is "Unknown figure. Try again." I'm not sure why this happens. Maybe something’s not connected well..
#include <iostream>
#include<math.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int Side;

float sqrt3 = 1.732;
float sqrt4 = 2;
float sqrt5 = 2.236;
float cot = 2.077;
float pi = 3.141;
char figure;
char equaliteral_triangle,square,pentagon,hexagon,heptagon,octagon;
cout << "Enter the length of the side: " << endl;
cin >> Side;
cout << "Which figure's area are you calculating? " << endl;
cin >> figure;
if(figure == equaliteral_triangle) {
Area = (sqrt3/4) * (Side * Side);
cout << "The area of triangle is, "<< Area << endl;
}
else if (figure == square) {
Area = (Side * Side);
cout << "The area of square is, "<< Area << endl;
}
else if (figure == pentagon) {
Area = (0.25 *(5 *(5 +(2*sqrt5)))) * (Side * Side);
cout << "The area of pentagon is, "<< Area << endl;
}
else if (figure == hexagon) {
Area = ((3*sqrt3)/2) * (Side * Side);
cout << "The area of hexagon is, "<< Area << endl;
}
else if (figure == heptagon) {
Area = (7/4) * (Side * Side) * cot;
cout << "The area of heptagon is, "<< Area << endl;
}
if (figure == octagon) {
Area = (2 * (1+ sqrt2)) * (Side * Side);
cout << "The area of octagon is, "<< Area << endl;
}
else {
cout << "Unknown figure. Try again." << endl;
}
}
char equaliteral_triangle,square,pentagon,hexagon,heptagon,octagon;
You have declared these variables and haven't initialized them
IT should be
char equaliteral_triangle='t', square='s', pentagon='p', hexagon='h', heptagon='H', octagon='o';
You need to give some values to the char variables you defined. Without giving them some values they will remain undefined and therefore you will not match them. Note that these
char figure;
char equaliteral_triangle,square,pentagon,hexagon,heptagon,octagon;
are variables. If you type square into the console, it will not match the square variable's value. So, first of all, work with the characters like this:
char figure;
char equaliteral_triangle = '3',square = '4',pentagon = '5',hexagon = '6',heptagon = '7',octagon = '8';
and when you are successful and the program works, refactor it so that it will use a switch-case instead of if-else if which is more elegant in this case, when you have characters.
You have no values in your chars which means they all are NULL and when you compare them with the value user entered they will not be equal.
I would recommend only using the number of sides only if you want to have only these figures.
Eg if you have 3 sides you know it would be a triangle so use the formula accordingly .

I am writing a program with functions but it gives me the error in the title. How exactly do I call functions? I don't really understand that part. Do you just write the name of the function or is there something else involved?
I guess you should call the functions like this
double volume = Volume(Length, Width, Height);
double area = Area(Length, Width, Height);
DisplayData(Length, Width, Height, volume, area);
instead of the three meaningless statements
Volume;
Area;
DisplayData;
Function name and variable name is clashing with each other. Compiler is treating volume variable as function and looking for arguments after it.
double volume;
Change it to
double dVolume;
dVolume = Length*Width*Height;
return dVolume;
Do similar changes for area as well.
When the program is operating correctly, it is supposed to ask the user for a code (A, C ,D) and then ask for a Radius.
Which it does fine.
But when it's finished it is supposed to cout something that looks like "The area of a circle with radius 6.75 is 143.14"
But when I run mine, it prints "The area of a circle with radius 6.75 is A." I just can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong, and any help is greatly appreciated

}
I think you better review the latest lesson in C++ first.
Here is the fix for your code:
double a = Const * Radius; //'A' == Const * Radius;
double c = 2 * Const * Radius; //'C' == 2 * Const * Radius;
double d = 2 * Radius; //'D' == 2 * Radius;
if (Code == 'A')
cout << "The area of a circle with radius" << Radius << "is" << a /*'A'*/<< endl;
else if (Code == 'C')
cout << "The circumference of a circle with radius" << Radius << "is" << c /*'C'*/ << endl;
else if (Code == 'D')
cout << "The diameter of a circle with radius" << Radius << "is" << d /*'D'*/ <<
endl;
'A', 'B', 'C' are values as well as 1, 3, 100, etc.
= is an assignment operator while == is compare operator.
Once you write something like 'A' == Radius; it will be evaluated to boolean (most likely false value) and that's it. In the same way you can write false; or 5; in your code. It does nothing at all.
You're not assigning the value but making it equal to that. by the you can assign a value to char.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
/*run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */

//read the input radius
cin >> Radius;
// based on the code, calculate the required computed result
double Const;
Const = 3.1416;
/* NO need of this. you can't assign value to a char.
'A' == Const * Radius;
you have used == sign whic is not assigning

if (Code == 'A'){
float temp; //change
