What in the world?

This is an incredibly simple problem (I assume) because it has to do with a very simple program. In fact, I've written much more advanced things than this such as a calculator, database, and a guessing game. For some reason I decided to take a pretty long break from C++ (As you can see my last post was quite a while ago). Well now I'm back for good. No more of that break stuff :D Unfortunately I lost almost all my work due to my over-excitement about a disk reformat. So I installed the GCC compiler, added the the bin directory to my path variable, created an ever-so-simple program:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        char test;
        cout << "Okay, this is a test!\n";
        cin >> test;
        return 0;
}

---

Fired up the compiler, only to get this error:

Quote:

---

test.cpp: In function 'int main()':
test.cpp:6: no match for 'std::ostream& >> const char[22]' operator

---

This is despicable... I must be out of my mind...

One solution is add std infront of the cout and cin. Another solution is to add std::cout and using std::cin.

Well this works
cout << "Okay, this is a test!\n";

But this generates your error message
cout >> "Okay, this is a test!\n";

Posting the code you tried to compile helps...

What command were you using to compile your code?

It's fixed now. It was an editor problem. The editor wrote a blank .cpp file and then saved my code elsewhere. Thanks for the help though.
