Problem compiling an example from the SAMS teach yourself C++ in one hour a day book.

Hey everybody!

First of all, I'm new here, just started learning C++ from the book written by Jesse Liberty et al.

While going through the chapters, I've stumbled upon a problem while trying to compile a listing from the book. I am using the g++ compiler in Linux, maybe it's a problem with the compiler itself, but until now, all the listings compiled perfectly.

It's about chapter 4 (if anyone has this book) and the listing is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int SomeArray[2][5]={{0,1,2,3,4},{0,2,4,6,8}};
	for (int i=0; i<2; i++)
	{
		for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
		{
			cout << "SomeArray[" << i << "][" << j << "]: ";
			cout << SomeArray[i][j] << endl;
		}
	}
return 0;
}

the compiler gives me these messages:

g++ l4li4.cpp -o l4li4
l4li4.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
l4li4.cpp:9:8: error: expected primary-expression before ‘int’
l4li4.cpp:9:17: error: ‘j’ was not declared in this scope
l4li4.cpp:9:25: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘)’ token

I have checked and rechecked the code I've written with the example listing from the book and I can't find any typo's, help anyone?

This compiles fine. Is this really the code you're compiling? Maybe there is a typo in the original..

perhaps, I just saved the source again while reading your message. Now it compiles the code without error. I found it weird because it didn't give the error at line 7, only at line 9. I saved it three times before posting, and then it showed these errors. Sorry for the inconvenience and many thanks for the reply.
