Strange error with any program I write.

WillX47 (16)
So I'm trying to do a project and I keep getting an error no matter how simple of a program I write that includes cin and cout. I've tried repairing my install of Microsoft Visual but it didn't change anything. Currently trying it with this:

  #include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main () {

	int testThing;

	cin >> testThing >> endl;
	cout << testThing << endl;

	return 0;

}


My error looks like this:

You cannot put std::endl into std::cinl.

That is:
std::cin>>x>>std::endl; //<-- error!

I am but a lowly C++ student, I'm not sure what you even said. Do you know what I can do to fix this?

cin >> testThing >> endl; should be cin >> testThing;

You just saved my life! Thank you so much, I've been panicking for over an hour :P
