Starting out, and don't understand this

Hey all,
Im reading Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days. Its a good book so far I think. But I think he wrote something wrong.
I am typing in the code exactly as soon on page 18:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std:cout << "Hello World!\n";
int x;
std::cin >> x;
        return 0;
}

---

And I get the following errors:
--------------------Configuration: Example1 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
ex1.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\example1\ex1.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\example1\ex1.cpp(5) : error C2297: '<<' : illegal, right operand has type 'char [14]'
Error executing cl.exe.

Example1.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I copied it exactly out of the book. Im using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

If you need any other info let me know, thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out.

You have a typo, std:cout should be std::cout

Lol thanks I didn't see that
Thanks

First, it's a really good idea to hand-type in all of the example programs. But, you can download the source code at the author's website. I had to do this a couple of times when I couldn't see my typo.

^ Agreed.
When you run into this type of problem, though, even when your more experienced, sometimes it helps just to wipe out the problem line of code and rewrite it. It has little to do with skill. You just happen to be seeing what should be there, not what is there.

Good book if i do say so myself, own it too hehe ;)
