Program in via book by McGrath returns compilation error

[gfisher]

The code for the first program in the book C++ Programming in Easy Steps by McGrath is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;

// A C++ program to output a greeting.

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" >> endl ;
reurn 0 ;
}
|


Attempt to compile it with GNU compiler by

(1) typing program with Windows Notepad
(2) saving as hello.cpp
(3) moving result to directory C:\MyPrograms
(4) at a command prompt, changing directory to C:\MyPrograms
(5) entering command c++ hello.cpp

yields

hello.cpp:12:1: error: expected unqualified-id before ':' token


Please tell me: Why do I get this error?
