#include <iostream>
main()
{
 using std::namespace
 int x,y;

 cout << "enter an x and a y \n";
 cin >> x >> y;
 if (x==0 && y==0)
    cout << "origin";
 if (x==0 && y!=0)
    cout << "y-axis";
 if (y==0 && x!=0)
    cout << "x-axis";
 if (x > 0 && y > 0)
    cout << "first quadrant";
 if (x < 0 && y > 0)
    cout << "second quadrant";
 if (x<0 && y<0)
    cout << "third quadrant";
 if (x>0 && y<0)
    cout << "fourth quadrant" ;
}

ok stupid conditionals parentheses >_<
silly me
anyway, even though its too late I feel the need to fix it

you can do a main without a return I believe.
