C++ Compiling problems

[dvergatal666]

When compiling the below:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int x = 5;
int y = 7;
cout "\n";
cout << x + y << " " << x * y;
cout "\n";
return 0;
}

I get the following error(s):

# g++ project1.cpp -o project1
project1.cpp:10:2: warning: no newline at end of file
project1.cpp: In function `int main ()':
project1.cpp:6: parse error before string constant
project1.cpp:8: parse error before string constant


I'm new to C++ and the code was provided as a (supposedly working) example in a book. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Note; The compiler didn't compile the code into the binary after executing the command, It did however, compile the 'Hello World' program in C++ to binary but again returned the 'no newline' error as above.
Any ideas?

cout "\n"

should be

cout<<"\n";

or better yet

cout<<endl;

The last line should be blank. i.e.stick the cursor on the end of the last line of code and press the Enter key.

Just to reiterate, whenever you're using cout, you always have to pass it things with the << symbol, such as std::cout << "Hello World!"; or std::cout << x + y;.

Ahh I see. I've a misleading E-book. Thanks =)
