error: expected ';' before string constant
Why does that error keep occuring?

   cout << (1) "Add a value" << endl;

    cout << (2) "Edit a value" << endl;

    cout << (3) "Print a value" << endl;

    cout << (4) "Display Statistics" << endl;

    cout << (5) "Quit the program" << endl;

    return;

It might be because those (#) lie outside quotes. Try this for all the lines:
cout << "(1) Add a value" << endl;

What are the (1), (2), etc.? I think you should include them in the quotation marks.
