Thread: what is this error

Hi sorry for another post but i'm an error and I have no clue how to fix it I followed what was written in the book and this is what I put in.
"
// Listing 2.2 using std::cout
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello there.\n";
std::cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n" ;
std::cout << "The manipulator std::end1";
std::cout << "writes a new line to the screen.";
std::cout << std::end1
std::cout << "Here is a very big number:\t" << 70000;
std::cout << std::end1
std::cout << "Here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t";
std::cout << 8+5 << std::end1
std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
std::cout << (float) 5/8 << std::end1
std::cout << "Don't forget to replace Jesse Libriry";
std::cout << "with your name...\n";
std::cout << "Jesse Librity is a C++ programmer!\n";
std::sin.get()
return 0;
}
"
thes are the errors i'm getting line 10"..end1 undeclared (first use here) line 10"parse error before" line 12"confused by earlier errors, bailing out"

i added comments...

Code:

// Listing 2.2 using std::cout
#include <iostream.h>   //**should be <iostream> not <iostream.h>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello there.\n";
std::cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n" ;
std::cout << "The manipulator std::end1";
std::cout << "writes a new line to the screen.";
std::cout << std::end1   //**need a semicolin
std::cout << "Here is a very big number:\t" << 70000;
std::cout << std::end1   //**need a semicolin
std::cout << "Here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t";
std::cout << 8+5 << std::end1   //**need a semiclin
std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
std::cout << (float) 5/8 << std::end1   //**semicolin
std::cout << "Don't forget to replace Jesse Libriry";
std::cout << "with your name...\n";
std::cout << "Jesse Librity is a C++ programmer!\n";
std::sin.get()   //**semicolin
return 0;
}

mostly missing semicolins...

ah.. i think you were putting end1 (end one) it should be endl (endL but with a lowercase l).

also, it should be std::cin.get() not std::sin.get() at the end.

yea I fixed most of the probles it just where it says
std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
I get the error " unterminated character constant
and also in
std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
same error

There is no error in that line, the error is because of the line under it, the end1 which should be endl;

I can't see the screenshot, but anyways, this is a working code:
[code]
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello there.\n";
std::cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n" ;
std::cout << "The manipulator std::end1";
std::cout << "writes a new line to the screen.";
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Here is a very big number:\t" << 70000;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t";
std::cout << 8+5 << std::endl;
std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
std::cout << (float) 5/8 << std::endl;
std::cout << "Don't forget to replace Jesse Libriry";
std::cout << "with your name...\n";
std::cout << "Jesse Librity is a C++ programmer!\n";
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
[\code]

Compare it with your's...
You had a mistake when you were using: iostream.h
among with std::cout, ...
I'm not use if this is acceptable in your compiler, but as far as I know you should use iostream only( without .h )...

try this:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

so you don't have to do "std::thing" every time, just type in "thing".

Your error is commented (except for the endl's)

Code:

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
  std::cout << "Hello there.\n";
  std::cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n" ;
  std::cout << "The manipulator std::endl";
  std::cout << "writes a new line to the screen.";
  std::cout << std::endl                                //semicolon
  std::cout << "Here is a very big number:\t" << 70000;
  std::cout << std::endl                                //semicolon
  std::cout << "Here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t";
  std::cout << 8+5 << std::endl                    //semicolon
  std::cout << "here's a fraction:\t\t";
  std::cout << (float) 5/8 << std::endl          //semicolon
  std::cout << "Don't forget to replace Jesse Libriry";
  std::cout << "with your name...\n";
  std::cout << "Jesse Librity is a C++ programmer!\n";
  std::sin.get()                                               //cin not sin and semicolon
  return 0;
}

>>std::cout << "The manipulator std::endl"; // quotation mark boy!!

what's wrong with this? if you mean that 'std::endl' is in the quotes, then i believe this is correct... he's output some information about std::endl, not tryint to use it.

okay, rather interesting.

Ha, ha, ha. Oh, that's classic. That's when you have a hardware error between your keyboard and your chair. Heh, heh. Thanks for the laugh, lost.soul.
