How do i change color of text in the program more than once
rite now i use the code

system ("color 0c");//makes the color of the text red
cout <<"hey";
system ("color 02") //change color to green;
cout<<"only in green ";

it displays both the lines in green not the first in red and second in green.

Here is a good topic (specifically the third post) that demonstrates the procedure for a Windows specific program. Windows is a pain in the butt and the API is difficult to use, but this will get the job done. The only downside is the lack of portability to other platforms.

I simplified the code slightly to remove anything that you don't need.

int main ()
{
  HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

  SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
  cout << "This text should be blue" << endl;
}

This is the Microsoft page that lists all of the different arguments that can be passed into the function to change the colors different way.
