Help with output and dash position

TyNova (2)
I need help, I need to output the string "ENGL 101 - College Writing Skills" in this format: "College Writing Skills (ENGL 101)".

I can not just write out the words, I need to use a formula to figure out the output. I need help because I keep running into errors on lines 21 and 22.

Thank you.

// The purpose of this program is to produce the class statistics.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

const string COURSE = "ENGL 101 - College Writing Skills";
const int SCORE_1 = 47;
const int SCORE_2 = 42;
const int SCORE_3 = 43;
const int SCORE_4 = 49;

int main()
{
	int dashPos;
	int courseDesc;
	int descLen;
	
	dashPos = COURSE.find(" - ");
	courseDesc = COURSE.substr(dashPos +3, descLen);
	descLen = COURSE.length() - COURSE.substr(0, dashPos);

	cout << endl;
	
	cout << "Course: " << dashPos;

	cout << endl;
	return 0;
}

	courseDesc = COURSE.substr(dashPos +3, 33);


	cout << endl;
	
	cout << "Course: " << courseDesc << " (" << courseId << ")";

	cout << endl;
