    Code:
    cout <<"Your balance is" << bal <<;
    Remove the last '<<'.

    Yeah, look at the bottom right corner in your posts, just left of the quote button. That way you can just fix the code tags in your original post rather than posting a reply

    you lost "{}" while you are using "while"



    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main() /*function main*/
    {
    
    float bal = 0;
    int months = 0;
    float deposit = 0;
    int month = 0;
    float dep = 0;
    
    	cout <<"Please enter the your balance   $: (-1 to stop) ";
    	cin >> bal;
    
    	cout <<"How many months has the account been opened?: (-1 to stop) ";
    	cin >> months;
    
    	while (months >=1)////start loop
    	{	
    		cout <<"Please enter any deposits   $: (-1 to stop) ";
    		cin >> dep;
    		if (bal == -1)
    		break;							//get out of the loop
    		else;
    		month--;
    		bal += dep;
    		cout <<"Your balance is" << bal;	
    	}			
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    blow me ... ...
