I had the same problem when I first learned OR operators, you have to type this:

 
 
if(age == 0 || age == 100)true


Instead of this:
 
 
if(age == 0 || 100)true


You should use the ELSE statement also so that it doesn't print out both statements:

	{
	cout << "Your kidding" << endl;
	}
	else
	cout <<"I hear you just had a birthday and are: " << age <<endl;
	
	system ("PAUSE");
	
}
