	cin >> x;
	cout << " please enter the second number: " << endl;

"float=0.0;" is not a valid statement (no variable name), probably will not compile.

add a variable name, something like,

"float abc = 0.0;"

Because the float line is not C.

C++

int average = 0 ;
float=0.0;

Because just like for any other variables, when you declare it, it is datatype, then variable name.
