double testpower;
testpower = pow(400,-9);
testpower giving me 3.8146972656250003e-024 which is different calculator output of 4E-7
Anyone have any idea why??

calculator output of 4E-7
You entered the wrong calculation into your calculator.
You entered 400×10-9, instead of 400-9.
These are absolutely not the same thing!
The C++ program is correct: pow(400, -9) calculates 400-9, which is approximately 3.815×10-24.
Here is some further reading for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation#E_notation

4E-7 seems like you accidentally input 400 * 10^-9 or 400E-9.
You're looking for 400^-9, which should give 3.8146972656250003e-024.

The result you are getting 3.8146972656250003e-024 is completely correct. Maybe your calculator does not have that precission and that is why you are getting that error. Try to do 1/400^9.

I just tested 400^(-9) on the Windows calculator tool and I got the same output as your program. I think the program is fine, it may be your manual calculation that is the problem here.

This is used here do {....} while(ch!=?.?); what does ch!=?.? mean here can anybody please help with it.
It's a syntax error with both clang and gcc.
#JonathanLeffler is usually right and I think he nailed the root cause. I used to see this when text was being copied from Microsoft Word to the web (lack of transcode from a Windows code page to ascii/utf8?).

My code was converted to these random characters at some point after I saved my program using Vi. I did this project for a grade in one of my college courses and didn’t get any credit, despite the fact that I spent hours working on my code for this to happen. If anyone knows how to convert it back to C++ I would be thankful.
Turns out I had saved my file under the wrong folder and I was able to recover my original file. Thanks to all for helping out with this! It seems like it always tends to be something so simple...

Why am I getting this problem and how can I fix it? From my point of view I already declared it. Please see the image.
Thanks a lot!
You have an extra semicolon between the for statement and opening brace. That makes the for loop have an empty body, and the braced expressions have no idea what angle is supposed to be, since it truly is out-of-scope.

I am extremely new to programming (my second week in) and I am trying to understand why when I start without debugging, I keep receiving this error message!
I only receive one error and it is the "c2059" 'return' error code.. It's not descriptive at all, so I have no idea what I did wrong.
I have a picture link available below through google drive to show my code. Any help offered is greatly appreciated!

I am also fairly new to this site, if I am breaking any formal etiquette, please let me know as well..
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
You have some stray text (endl/) at the end of the second last line, which is causing a parsing error.
You also appear to have typed return o; (the letter "o") - as you don't have a variable called o this will also cause an error. I suspect you meant return 0; instead.

I'm running an ipad project on XCode. My project builds and runs successfully. But the logger messages (cout/printf statements) are not getting printed. It was working fine. I don't know what I did.
This is how the debugger screen looks when the project is running.
Help please..
Works after restarting Xcode. Should be a glitch.
Try to quit and restart the simulator.
If that still doesn't work then put a break point right before and after your print statements and see if your program is reaching that point.
If it doesn't reach the print statement, then put a break point in your viewDidLoad function and check if your program is running at all or not.
