total noob with a problem

hey im totally new to all this programing stuff but im trying to learn. Im working from a SAMS book on C++ and for one exercise i have to type in the following code:

Code:

 #include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
   int x = 5;
   int y = 7;
   std::cout << endl;
   std::cout << x + y << " " << x * y;
   std::cout << end;
   return 0;
}

I get these error messages using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005

Code:

error C2065: 'endl' : undeclared identifier

error C2065: 'end' : undeclared identifier

any help would be appreciated as i am pretty sure i have typed it all in right! thanks.

endl is in the std namespace so you need to do

Code:

std::endl

As you've done with cout. End looks like a typo.

both of them should be std::endl instead

yea I tried that and it worked thanks but why does the book not include what you said then?

or you can just use

Code:

using namespace std;

above your int function and then you wont have to use

Code:

std::cout

just

Code:

cout

.

It think thats easier to learn.

because the book, uses

Code:

std::cout <<"\n";

instead of what you typed.

Code:

"\n";

gives you basically the same effect as

Code:

endl

you are still on page 21 of the book, you need to read a bit more of the book and you will find the differences.

page 23 actually, but thanks for the useful info!
