    problems as a beginner 1

    i am having alot of problems as my beginning in prgramming.
    Here is a copy and paste from something i tried to compile and recieved errors and it looks exactly like the one i copied from the source and tried.

    // listing 2.2 using cout

    #include <iostream.h>
    int main()
    {
    cout << "Hello there.\n";
    cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";
    cout << "A manipulator end1 writes a new line to your screen." <<
    Âendl;
    cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << end1;

    cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << end1;
    cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << end1;
    cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 <<
    Âendl;
    cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n";
    cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n";
    return 0;
    }

    and here are the errors i am recieving when im trying to compile it.

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp: In function `int main()':

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:9: parse error before character 0302

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:10: `end1' undeclared (first use this function)

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:10: for each function it appears in.)
    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:12: parse error before `)'

    c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:14: parse error before character 0302

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h> 
    int main() 
    { 
         cout << "Hello there.\n"; 
         cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n"; 
         cout << "A manipulator endl writes a new line to your screen." << endl; 
         cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << endl; 
    
         cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << endl; 
         cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << endl; 
         cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 << endl; 
         cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n"; 
         cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n"; 
         return 0; 
    }

    Most of the problems seem to be with the confusion with endl, abbreviation of endline. Try the code above.

    ps dont forget to use code tags next time

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h> 
    int main() 
    { 
         cout << "Hello there.\n"; 
         cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n"; 
         cout << "A manipulator endl writes a new line to your screen." <<Âendl; 
         cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << endl; 
    
         cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << endl; 
         cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << endl; 
         cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 << endl; 
         cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n"; 
         cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n"; 
         return 0; 
    }
    your problem is that  character
    "There are three kinds of people in the world...
    Those that can count and those that can't."

    Code:
    cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << end1;
    Change it to:
    Code:
    cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" << (float) 5/8 << end1;
