problems as a beginner 1

i am having alot of problems as my beginning in prgramming.
Here is a copy and paste from something i tried to compile and recieved errors and it looks exactly like the one i copied from the source and tried.

// listing 2.2 using cout

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Hello there.\n";
cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";
cout << "A manipulator end1 writes a new line to your screen." <<
Âendl;
cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << end1;

cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << end1;
cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << end1;
cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 <<
Âendl;
cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n";
cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n";
return 0;
}

and here are the errors i am recieving when im trying to compile it.

c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp: In function `int main()':

c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\my c++ projects\iamaprogrammer.cpp:9: parse error before character 0302

I cant figure out what i did wrong, heh. plz help... thanks and now im going to continue reading about what i just wrote. thanks

Code:

---


#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello there.\n";
    cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";
    cout << "A manipulator endl writes a new line to your screen." << endl;
    cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << endl;

    cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << endl;
    cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << endl;
    cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 << endl;
    cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n";
    cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n";
    return 0;
}

Most of the problems seem to be with the confusion with endl, abbreviation of endline. Try the code above.

ps dont forget to use code tags next time :D

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello there.\n";
    cout << "Here is 5: " << 5 << "\n";
    cout << "A manipulator endl writes a new line to your screen." <<Âendl;
    cout << "here is a very big number:\t" << 70000 << endl;

    cout << "here is the sum of 8 and 5:\t" << 8+5 << endl;
    cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << endl;
    cout << "and a very big number:\t" << (double) 7000 * 7000 << endl;
    cout << "don't forget to add your name Jewa:\n";
    cout << "Jewa is now a programmer:\n";
    return 0;
}

your problem is that  character

Code:

---

cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" (float) 5/8 << end1;

---

Change it to:

Code:

---

cout << "here is a fraction:\t\t" << (float) 5/8 << end1;

---

yes... thats one problem... i mistaken the L for 1... i have to go back and change that... thanks for the correction. By the way.... how do u create that A character? Thanks everyone.
