error messages

[VP Motha]

Hi
Can someone help?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{ cout << "Hello world" >>; return 0;}

[vlad from moscow]

Instead of
cout << "Hello world" >>;

should be either

cout << "Hello world";

or

cout << "Hello world" << endl;

[Peter87]

Remove the >>.

Hey, welcome to cplusplus forums.
When posting code, please use code tags which can be found to the right of the text box (the <> symbol, click it).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main( )
{ 
    cout << "Hello world" >>; //this is your error. 
    return 0;
}

cout does not define operator >>.

You need to change it to this:

cout << "Hello World"; //remove >> altogether. 

[VP Motha]

Thanks for pointing the error but i still can not come right

[Thumper]

What is the error you are receiving?

[VP Motha]

Here is the list, for interest sake does it matter which windows are you using?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{cout << "Hello world"; return 0; }

What compiler and IDE are you using?
It's likely that one or the other isn't configured properly, because it's not finding default C++ headers.

[VP Motha]

IDE and C++ compiler

[LB]

If you want to compile the code as C++ the extension of the file must be a C++ extension. For example, either .cpp or .cc - just putting .c will cause the compiler to interpret the file as C and not C++

[VP Motha]

Hello Thumper, I have saved my file as .cpp not as .c which seems to be a default on my programme and the results is the error below.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
cout << "Hello world"; return 0; }
}#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
cout << "Hello world"; return 0; }
}
Error\Untitled1.cpp|6|error: expected declaration before '}' token|

[vlad from moscow]

Is it a typo that the code is duplicated?

[VP Motha]

It is the compiled message should be:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
cout << "Hello world"; return 0; }
}

Error Activity 1a.ii\Untitled1.cpp|6|error: expected declaration before '}' token|

[vlad from moscow]

The closing brace in line #6 shall be removed.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
cout << "Hello world"; return 0; } // <== remove it
}

[VP Motha]

Thanks it worked, if i may ask
why changed the file default to .cpp?
shouldnt i work it on the default e.g. untitled1.c as it was given in the book?

[MiiNiPaa]

it could if you explicitly tell your compiler that it is the c++ file.
Read your compiler help tj learn how.
