    Spot the error

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    int main()
    {
    int x = 5;
    int y = 7;
    cout "\n";
    cout << x + y << " " << x * y;
    cout "\n";
    return 0;
     }
    This was in the first quiz of "Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days"

    Call me crazy but theres an error in line 6 and 8 that shouldn't be

    they corrected it in this edition. it's as follows

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
          int x = 5;
          int y = 7;
          std::cout << "\n";
          std::cout <<  x+ y << " " << x * y;
          std::cout << "\n";
    return 0;     // you happy now >:b
    }

    Good. Now we're just down to the missing semi-colon after 'return 0'. And the fact that we'll probably get another spate of posts that the screen disappears before you can read the display!
