Basic C++ code error

[talentedone]

Hi Beginner here, I copied this code exactly from "C++ for Dummies"(no smarta$$ comments plz ). Anyway it gives me an error right on the bold line does anyone know why? I'm using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 to write and execute the code

//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212 - 32)/100 + 32
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
// enter the temperature in Celsius
int celsius;

cout << “Enter the temperature in Celsius:”;
cin >> celsius;
// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 212 - 32;
// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;
// output the results (followed by a NewLine)
cout << “Fahrenheit value is:”;
cout << fahrenheit << endl;
// wait until user is ready before terminating program
// to allow the user to see the program results
system(“PAUSE”);
return 0;
}

its the “ it should be ", all over the place.

Compiles fine my side after changing that.

I don't see any "it should be" in the code I posted. Do you mind pointing it out to me if it is in code.

I am referring to the inverted commas " the code has it as “. That is not valid syntax.

He's saying the inverted commas shouldn't be skewed inwards.

Thank you semaphore, I hereby appoint you as my C++ mentor . Just out of interest how long have you been coding?

Professionally about 12-14(cant really recall), hobbyist included about 20.
