Thread: New to C++ and need some help with proper formatting

I am new to C++ and currently am working on a project for square triangular numbers. I have the logic sorted but my program wont display anything from the cout operator, any help would be appreciated. Source is below for reference, indentation is correctly done.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	// Variable and constant declarations...
	int triangle_start = 0;			//start value for triangular number
	int triangle_next = 1;			//next sequential value added to 
									//triangular number
	int distance = 1;				//length of each side of the square
	int area;						//value of distance * distance
	const int HOW_MANY = 4;			//how many square triangular numbers printed
	int count = 1;					//loop counter initialized at 1
	
	//Determining the square triangular numbers
	while (count <= HOW_MANY)
	{

		area = distance * distance;

		if (triangle_next < area) // triangular number < square

		{
			triangle_start += triangle_next;
			triangle_next++;
		}

		else if (triangle_start > area) // triangular number > square

		{
			distance++;
		}

		else if (triangle_start == area) // triangular == square

		{
			cout << "Square triangular number" << count << "is" << area << endl;
			count++;
			distance++;
		}

		else

		{
			return 0;
		}
		
	}
	
	
	//exit
	return 0;
}
