Thread: endl gone whacky

wtf is wrong with this code? visual c keeps puking on the endl;,
says its an undeclared identifier...even went to the extreme of wiping the project and copying the original code into a new one....

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <time.h>
#include <string>


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////GLOBALS
double version=0.1;
int length;
string input; //use for loop to change to a new char array[length] then make char ouput[length]

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////MAIN
int main()
{
	std::cout<<"Encryptor v"<<version<<endl;
	std::cout<<"\n\n\n\n\nCopyright Drew Peterson\n2002\nAll Rights Reserved"<<endl;
	return 0;
}

It's also not liking the string type, even though i included <string>
wtf??

One point -

using namespace std;

right, you knew to use the std:: for the cout but not the endl

it would be written std::endl unless you chose to use the using line as fordy suggested. Then you need to get rid of your std::couts

Fun huh?

wow
what a newbie mistake...i forgot to do the using namespace ...
shoot me

I am glad you did that it gave me a chance to learn something new. Hey! everybody makes silly mistakes and i make more than my share.
Later.

shoot me

*bang*
darn, another miss, shoot me!

don't sweat mistakes, best way to learn dude!

I make like 100 every day, often the same ones over and over and over and over.

I think you can also use flush. It clears the buffer, but it doesn't go to the next line.

cout << "cheese" << flush;

i dunno endl is better

this has always bothered me, but ive been afraid to ask (figuring its a dumb question):

i never use endl, only "\n". what is the difference, and what advantage would i have using one over the other?
