    Code:
    cin.get()
    // should be
    std::cin.get()
    Nice to see beginners using the new style headers .

    Maybe you should learn doing this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std; //adding this line
    int main()
    {
     int x = 5;
     int y = 7;
     cout << "\n";
     cout << x + y << " " << x * y;
     cout << "\n";
     cin.get()
     return 0;
    }
    It's easier this way...
    none...

    why not do this.

    [code]

    #include <iostream.h>/* add the .h then you dont need name spaces.*/

    Because the .h headers are old C++ and are outdated. The standard C++ states that it is iostream (w/out the .h).

    your just missing a semicolon on the std::cin.get();

    You also need a semicolon to terminate cin.get()

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
    	std::cout << "\n12 35\n";
     	std::cin.get();
    
     	return 0;
    }
    I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
    literacy and the refrigeration of food.
