Natural Gas Billing Rate (undeclared Identifiers)

FaffyWaffle (64)
Hi I have to write a program that takes 2 inputs to indicate the amount of gas used and then calculate how much that amount of gas would cost according to the chart at the top of my program. The first input would be a 5 digit number for the amount of gas used previous month and the second input would also be a 5 digit number for the amount used for the current month. I am getting undeclared identifiers for my first cout and cin. Also if you spot any other errors please let me know. Thanks.

The cin and cout streams are defined in the 'std' namespace. So if you use any of these streams, you have to either declare "using namespace std;" before your main loop starts (without the quotes) or use code like the following.

std::cout << "Enter your meter number..";
std::cin >> first_month;


Some useful/interesting material on namespaces. :)
