Help with error invalid operands

titan93 (8)
I am getting an error in my program that I am writing, and I am not sure how to go about fixing it. The error is on line 42, invalid operands of types 'const char[2]' and 'const char[14]' to binary 'operator<<' any help would be appreciated.

There's a single < that should be a <<

cout<<"Telephone Number"<<"\t"<<"Telephone Code"<<"\t"<<"Local Charges"<<"\t"<<"Long Distance Charges"<"\t"


You'll also need to fix the discrepancy in function name if these are supposed to be the same function.

Well I feel pretty foolish for missing that, thank you for the help.
