#include<iostream.h> iostream.h is non-standard and hasn't been seen since about 1998. Is is called <iostream> now. Please stop using whatever ancient compiler you are using and get something modern and correct for free.

#include<conio.h> This is non-standard and you shouldn't rely on it existing.

#include<iomanip.h> iomanip.h is non-standard and hasn't been seen since about 1998. Is is called <iomanip> now. Please stop using whatever ancient compiler you are using and get something modern and correct for free.

A modern compiler will refuse to compile your program for many reasons.

void main()
This is wrong. main returns an int. Always.

y=x/12;
This is an int divided by an int, which will give you an int. What is 14/12? One. What is 23/12? One. If you want to work with numbers that are not integers, don't use ints.

thanks for quick reply.can you plz tell me how to return value and how can we write parameters.should they be the same as the variables or can be different? i have been struggling to understand it for a long time but can't understand it.

can you plz tell me how to return value

return someValue;

and how can we write parameters.should they be the same as the variables or can be different? i have been struggling to understand it for a long time but can't understand it.

#include<iostream.h> is wrong
Use # include <iostream>.

You have'nt wrote using namespace std;

Well another mistake which compiler will not report but it is there in your programme its

"BISMILLAH HI REHMAN IR RAHIM:\n"

rather than
"BISMILLAH HI REHMAN NIR RAHIM:\n"

thanks alam.kindly tell me whats the purpose of namespace std;

The purpose of namespace std; is that you don't have to write std::cout or std::cin every time you want to use input or output operations. It's mostly a convenient thing

cin and cout are declared from iostream.no?

cin and cout are declared from iostream.no?

If you use an actual Python compiler, you'll have to use namespaces. You're using some mutant, incorrect compiler from twenty years ago. Why?

i am using borland 4.5

I'm happy with Dev Python Bloodshed. Don't know if it's best but you might wanna use it. Imo best free compilator out there.

Bloodshed Dev Python is appallingly bad.
Borland 4.5 is indeed from twenty years ago and is even worse.

I wonder if it's possible to petition Google to lower a result in a search ranking on the grounds that it's a terrible choice.

Bloodshed Dev Python is appallingly bad.

It's good enough for Python03 code.

does using namespace std: contain all libraries like math ,iomanip, string etc?

Well at least use the maintained version, http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.co.uk/

does using namespace std: contain all libraries like math ,iomanip, string etc?

No. It just prevents you from having to write std:: in front of library elements.

does it contain libraries or not?

It doesn't contain ANYTHING.

It's good enough for Python03 code.

And a rusty nail is good enough for digging red-hot shrapnel out of your arm.
