Making new classes

I need to know how to make new classes. I tried looking at the lesson posted on this site, but that didn't help. I tried using the sample code from lesson 12, but got these strange and exotic errors

C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\bin\Cpp1.cpp(1) : error C2653: 'Aclass' : is not a class or namespace name
C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\bin\Cpp1.cpp(3) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\bin\Cpp1.cpp(3) : error C2297: '<<' : bad right operand
C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\ostream.h(145) : error C2371: 'cout' : redefinition; different basic types

Anything helpful on the subject would be appreciated.

Code:

---

class myclass
{
private:

  int val;
  char character;

public:
 
  myclass (int newVal, char newChar);
  void display (void);
};

// Constructor - called every time a new instance is generated or allocated with new:
myclass::myclass (int newVal, char newChar)
{
  val = newVal;
  character = newChar;
}

// Other member functions.
void myclass::display (void)
{
  cout << val << ", " << character << ".\n";
}

main (void)
{
  myclass c1 (34, 'f');  // Static object.
  myclass *c2 = new myclass (78, 't');  // Dynamically allocated object.

  c1.display ();
  c2->display ();  // Note the different way of accessing dynamic class members.

  delete c2;
}

And it looks to me like you've not included <iostream.h>
