whats wrong with this program?

etereo · 2010-02-07 22:33:16

What, if anything, is wrong with the following cout statement?

cout >> "My name is Maria; << endl

What, if anything, is wrong with the following program?

#include <iosteam main(){ cout << "Is there something
wrong " << endl << endl cout << "with this program"?; }

thank you and god bless

I have a question, @etereo, is this a new C++ code? I think you missed very things in that code. What about a hello world in C++?

More specifically, in the first you don't end the quote so the entire line is still trying to be outputted. Also, both of those "<<"/">>" should just be "<<". You probably want it to look like:

cout << "My name is Maria" << endl;

I suggest you look for some tutorials. You can find loads on google, or whatever search engine you prefer.

this is C++ sorry i didnt add that

etereo · 2010-02-07 22:56:01

cout << "My name is Maria" << endl;

still won't compile, why?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;   
  cout << "Welcome to C++ Programming" << endl; 
  return 0;
}

There's no need to separate the cout statements like that:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    cout << "Is there something wrong" << endl << endl << "with this program?";
    return 0;
}

or replace the one cout statement above with these two:

    cout << "Is there something wrong" << endl << endl;
    cout << "with this program?";

You also can't use cout by itself with just #include <iostream>. If you want to use cout without using namespace std;, you have to use std::cout.

Well, I think your examples in your first post looks to much like homework. If it was homework, I think you should try to learn it yourself and not ask for a complete solution. If you don't understand the basic stuff you will have problems later with more advanced programming.

You can also do the following:

using std::cout;
using std::endl; 
using std::string;

//etc

Just thought I'd simplify it a bit.

Closing. You've already gotten way more help than you should have.
