Thread: i need help

I need help with my program. Everytime that I try to compile my program I keep getting the same error messages. I tried almost everything to get rid of the error messages, but I can't.
Here's my program & error messages:

// necessary library header files:

#include<iostream.h>

#include<fstream.h>

#include<iomanip.h>

Well, i tried compiling it in Turbo c++ and i got similar errors.

do the following:

on a cout, you're doing cout >> something
it mus be cout << something (the arrows pointing to the other side)

at some place you call

PrintStorm(Storm* List);
you should do
PrintStorm(*List); //Without the Storm

It compiled perfectly, but It didn't do anything, but you try this and see if it works!


Good luck
