Easy calculator, confusing problem

[jonahg119]

Just took a couple of minutes at the start of class and was confused why it didn't work. It says the error is at the first "{", by the way

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int x;
{
cout <<"Pick a value for x"<<endl;
cin >> x
cout << "The value of x is " << x <<endl;

int y;
cout <<"Pick a value for y"<<endl;
cin >> y
cout << "The value of y is" << y <<endl;

cout <<"Variables\nx= "<<x<<" and y = "<<y<<endl;
cout << x << " times " << y << " is " <<x * y<<endl;
cout << x << " divided by " << y << " is " <<x / y<<endl;
cout << x << " plus " << y << " is " <<x + y<<endl;
cout << x << " minus " << y << " is " <<x - y<<endl;
return 0;
}

You are missing semicolons after your statements with cin. In the future, please use code tags.

That didn't work, it still says its an error no matter what

The main problem is always the hardest to fix, I think.

int main()
{
int x;
