Need help with this program. I am new tpo programing and am not expereience in c++. Theanks for you hel I understand there are lots of errors but don tknow how to fix them.

The Purpose of this code is to create a mad lib

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;



int main(void)
{
	cout << "Enter in words each word with one space in between;" <<endl;
		cout << endl;

	string onesName;
	cout << "Enter your first name; ";
	cin >> onesName;  
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');

	string famousPerson;
	cout << "Enter the name of famous person; ";
	cin >> famousPerson;
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');

	string animalInput;
	cout<< "Enter an animal; ";
	cin >> animalInput;
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');

	string numberInput;
	cout << "Enter a number, one digit only; ";
	cin >> numberInput;
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');

	string emotionInput;
	cout << "Enter an emotion; ";
	cin >> emotionInput;
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');

	string adjectiveInput;
	cout << "Enter an adjective; ";
	cin >> adjectiveInput;
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');



	// this is processing:
	string dear = "Dear, " + onesName + '!'; 
	string seconline = "I wanted to inforn you the" + famousePerson + 'received your letter.';
	string thirdline = "We just wanted to tell you that he does not have your" + animalInput + '!';
	string fourthline = " But we will gladly donate" + numberInput + 'for your cause.';
	string fifthline = "We are sorry and hope you have a" + emotionInput + 'day.';
	string lastline = "Your" + adjectiveInput + 'friend, Jesus G.';


	// this is output:
	cout << dear << endl;
	cout << secondline << endl;
	cout << thirdline << endl;
	cout << fourthline << endl;
	cout << fifthline << endl;
	
	cout << endl;
	cout << lastline << endl;

	cout << endl;

	


	// endgame 


	cout << endl << "ENTER to finish...";
	cin.ignore(99,'\n');
	return 0;
}

What, exactly, are the errors?

Well, the errors are

Code:

Comeau C/C++ 4.3.10.1 (Oct  6 2008 11:28:09) for ONLINE_EVALUATION_BETA2

"ComeauTest.c", line 46: error: identifier "famousePerson" is undefined
  	string seconline = "I wanted to inforn you the" + famousePerson + 'received your letter.';
  	                                                  ^

Simple typo.

Code:

"ComeauTest.c", line 46: error: too many characters in character constant
  	string seconline = "I wanted to inforn you the" + famousePerson + 'received your letter.';
  	                                                                  ^

"ComeauTest.c", line 48: error: too many characters in character constant
  	string fourthline = " But we will gladly donate" + numberInput + 'for your cause.';
  	                                                                 ^

"ComeauTest.c", line 49: warning: multicharacter character literal (potential
          portability problem)
  	string fifthline = "We are sorry and hope you have a" + emotionInput + 'day.';
  	                                                                       ^

"ComeauTest.c", line 49: error: no operator "+" matches these operands
            operand types are: std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>,
                      std::allocator<char>> + int
  	string fifthline = "We are sorry and hope you have a" + emotionInput + 'day.';
  	                                                                     ^

"ComeauTest.c", line 50: error: too many characters in character constant
  	string lastline = "Your" + adjectiveInput + 'friend, Jesus G.';

Single quotes are for characters, double quotes are for string literals. ^

Code:

"ComeauTest.c", line 55: error: identifier "secondline" is undefined
  	cout << secondline << endl;

Another simple typo.
