windows app

[collinisaac0104]

I am making a windows app but the compiler returns the errors while using cout:
I have using namespace std;
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<<' (no semicolon is missing)

error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int (how does that apply?)

error C2086: 'int cout' : redefinition

: see declaration of 'cout' why do i have to decalre cout? anyway here is the code segment

cout<<"message "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<<variable/totalLine<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message "<<variable<<endl;
cout<<"message: "<< variable <<'\n';

It seems that your a missing a semi-colon somewhere, which is screwing up succeeding statements.

[collinisaac0104]

it does seem that way but i have been over the code a million times. None missing. For all eight cout messages I get the same three errors and their are semi colon and the end of all those lines.

why don't you look at the code before those lines?

[collinisaac0104]

I have! A ton of times. If I take these out the gun runs. There must be a different way to put this into a windows app other than using cout<<

Do you have using namespace std;? If not, then you must fully qualify "cout" as std::cout. I would recommend not having using namespace <anything>; anyway; but this seems to be the mistake you've made.

[collinisaac0104]

thanks for replying. I do have using namespace std; do you think if i take it out and use the std::it would make a difference? Would having the both of them present a conflict?

I doubt it would help if you do, but like I said; I think you should use the std:: prefix anyway. It's useful for avoiding name errors and what-not. It takes a little getting used to, you have to remember what's in the std namespace and what isn't, but when you get used to it it's fine.

[collinisaac0104]

I will let you know how it turn out.

[collinisaac0104]

I tried dropping using namespace and used std:: instead. It opened the flood gates to alot of errors and I still got the three errors from first post hmmmmmm. I tried googling this too and it seems that others had this problem too but I cant seem to find a solution. I guess the better question would be what is the best way to display variable solution in the window once the program is exectuted?

[chrisname]

Could you please post that code in the context it appears? Clearly that's not a single block; could you post the surrounding code, please?

[collinisaac0104]

sure

I pmed you so a whole bunch of people dont reply at the same time. I want to listen to one person at a time.
