Thread: Question

I'm doing the Learn C++ in 21 days tutorial found here. I'm using Dev-C++ as my compiler. When I write the code exactly as they have it in the book the compiler still finds errors. IE:

// Listing 2.2 using cout

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello there.\n";
cout<<"Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";
cout<<"The manipulator endl writes a new line to the screen." <<
Âendl;
cout<<"Here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << endl;
cout<<"Here is the sum of 8 an 5:\t" << 13 << endl;
cout<<"Here's a fraction:\t\t" << (float) 5/8 << endl;
cout<<"And a very very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 <<
Âendl;
cout<<"Don't forget to replace Jesse Liberty with your name...\n";
cout<<"Chris Stewart is a C++ programmer!\n";
return 0;
}

It's just like the book said but the compiler finds errors. Right here is where I am (under "A Brief Look at cout"). Any ideas?

-Fool

It is a console app.

-Fool

change

Code:

cout<<"Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";

to

Code:

cout<<"Here is 5: " << "5" << "\n";

or declare the variables like this:

Code:

int 5='5';

that should work, then repeat either of the two steps on all the other cout messages that include numbers.

also make sure verything else is declared such as: float, int, char, etc...
