Why doesn't "new line" work?

\n or <endl doesn't work......here's 2 test programs in which it doesn't work, but for others, it does....why?

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
 {
 int slot1
 int slot2
 int slot3
 int slot4
 int slot5
 int endr
 int sure
 cout<<"Please enter the top 5 things you would like to have if you were on an island alone"<<endl;
 cout<<"Type the first and most important thing"<<endl;
 cin>>slot1;
 cout<<"Type the second thing"<<endl;
 cin>>slot2;
 cout<<"Type the third thing"<<endl;
 cin>>slot3;
 cout<<"Type the fourth thing"<<endl;
 cin>>slot4;
 cout<<"Type the fifth thing and the one that you would least like to have"<<endl;
 cin>>slot5;
 cout<<"You liked the following in order"<<endl;
 cout<<"1. "slot1 <<endl;
 cout<<"2. "slot2 <<endl;
 cout<<"3. "slot3 <<endl;
 cout<<"4. "slot4 <<endl;
 cout<<"5. "slot5 <<endl;
 cout<<"Am I right?";
 cin>>endr;
 if(endr==yes)
  {
  cout<<"I knew it!";
  }
 else if(endr==y)
  {
  cout<<"I knew it!";
  }
 else if(endr==ya)
  {
  cout<<"I knew it!";
  }
 else if(endr==yup)
  {
  cout<<"I knew it!";
  }
 else
  {
  cout<<"Are you sure?";
  cin>>sure;
  }
 if(sure==yes)
  {
  cout<<"Sure....whatever you say...";
  }
 else
  {
  cout<<"I knew it!";
  }
 return 0;
 }

and shorter terms......

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
 cout<<"line 1" <<endl;
 cout<<"line 2" <<endl;
 return 0;
}

---

This code should work,

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespaces std;

int main()
{
  cout << "hello 1" << endl;
  cout << "hello 2" << endl;
}

---

You're missing at least seven semi-colons. That will cause a compile-time parse error -- seven, actually.

Simple, declare endl:

Code:

---

using namespace std;

---

or

Code:

---

using std::cin;
using std::cout;    //Better one
using std::endl;

---

Either one will work.

none of them work :(

What OS/compiler are you using?

WinXP Pro, Dev-C++

are you using dev c++ 4.9.8.0 or higher? If so, i've had the same problem and known many who have had it under windows xp

and

cout<<"1. "slot1 <<endl;
cout<<"2. "slot2 <<endl;
cout<<"3. "slot3 <<endl;
cout<<"4. "slot4 <<endl;
cout<<"5. "slot5 <<endl;


you're missing << before the variable names. unless you put the quotation marks in the wrong spot.

thanks...it helped...

1) I changed my compiler to Dev C++ 4 from 4.something
2) I fixed the

Code:

---

cout<<"1. "slot1 <<endl;
cout<<"2. "slot2 <<endl;
cout<<"3. "slot3 <<endl;
cout<<"4. "slot4 <<endl;
cout<<"5. "slot5 <<endl;

The return 0 is optional; an implicit return 0 exists for main() if no return statement is provided. (Some older compilers don't accept this).

It's optional, yes, but the standard is to use it.
