Itinerary Code

I am working on replit and is giving me this error message:

 clang++-7 -pthread -std=c++17 -o main main.cpp
main.cpp:25:3: error: unknown type name 'cout'

Here is the code...

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void startup();

bool run = true;

vector<string> list;



int main() {
while(run)
startup();
cout << "Have a good day young adventurer!\n";
}

void startup();
bool valid = true;
int num, remNum;

cout << "Good day adventurer! Are you ready to plan your quest?\n1) Add an Event\n2) Remove an Event\n3) View your schedule\n4) Leave and Depart on your journey!\n";

while(valid){
cin >> num;
cin.ignore();
switch(num){
case 1:
cout << "What shall be on your quest, and at what time?\n";
getline(cin, events);
list.push_back(events);
break;
case 2:
if(list.empty())
cout << "There is nothing on your quest yet.\n";
else{
cout << "Which part of the quest shall I terminate?\n";
cin >> remNum;
list.erase(list.begin() + (remNum - 1));
}
break;
case 3:
if(list.empty())
cout << "There is nothing on your quest yet.\n";
else{
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
cout << i + i << ")" << list[i] << endl;
}
break;
case 4:
run = false;
valid = false;
break;
default:
cout << "Sorry adventurer, that is beyond my powers.\n"
break;
}
if(valid)
cout << "\n Is there anything else you wish to do adventurer?\n"
}

You need to put cout, while, etc. inside a function.

[nottgamer]

Which function would I use, and how?

[Peter87]

It depends on what function you want the code to be part of.
My suspicion is that you tried to put it inside the startup() function but then you need to change

void startup();
bool valid = true;
int num, remNum;
cout << "Good d
		... 

to

void startup() {
	bool valid = true;
	int num, remNum;
	cout << "Good d
			...
}

Thank very much that helped fix the cout. The while loop still remains as an issue. Is it also suppose to be placed in a function?

[MikeyBoy]

Of course it needs to be in a function. If it wasn't in a function, how would your program know when to run it?

Execution of a program begins with the main() function, and proceeds through to call any functions called from main().

You can declare and define things outside of functions, but not have any code that actually executes.
