Qt: Separate input and display on new lines

I am trying to get a user to type in an address that is comma delimited. The idea is that the program will display the address in a correct format on new lines. I am new to using Qt Creator. I am trying to convert the input to a list and then display the list in a QMessageBox.

The error I am faced with is: 

C:\Qt\5.11.2\mingw53_32\include\QtCore\qstring.h:275: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from '`QStringList`' to '`qlonglong`' (aka '`long long`') for 1st argument

and 

C:\Users\Nickitaes\Desktop\Misc\UNISA\COS2614\Assignment 01\header\main.cpp:25: error: no matching conversion for functional-style cast from 'QStringList' to '`QString`'

Below is my code. I'm not sure where I am going wrong and the documentation I have found uses integers.

int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QMessageBox msgBox;
    QString enteredAddress = QInputDialog::getText(0, "User Address",
                                                 "Enter address each field separated by a comma "
                                                 "and a space: ");
    QStringList lines = enteredAddress.split(",/n ");

    QString response = QString("The new address format is ").arg(lines);
    msgBox.setText("Message Box", + QString(enteredAddress.split(",/n")))

    return 0;
}

You have multiple typos in your code: e.g., "Message Box", + should be "Message Box" +. Here's a good starting point:

int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QString enteredAddress = QInputDialog::getText(
        0,
        "User Address",
        "Enter address each field separated by a comma and a space: ");
    QMessageBox msgBox;
    msgBox.setText("Message Box:\n" + enteredAddress.replace(", ", "\n"));
    msgBox.show();
    return app.exec();
}
