What is wrong with attempt at multiline comment in main()?

Code:

// dem01-1.cpp
// John C++. Molluzzo

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{ // This is the body of the
     function main()
cout << "This is our first C++ program." << endl;
cout << "It works!!!" << endl;

return 0;
}

What, if anything, is wrong with the following cout statement?

Code:

cout  >>  "My name is Maria; << endl

What, if anything, is wrong with the following program?

Code:

#include <iosteam      main(){     cout << "Is there something 
wrong " << endl << endl cout << "with this program"?;   }

have a nice day and god bless,

corey aka etereo

You're using incorrect comments. // is for single line comments, such as...

Code:

// dem01-1.cpp
// John C++. Molluzzo

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{ //This is the body of the function main (MAKE SURE THIS IS ON ONLY ONE LINE!)
cout << "This is our first C++ program." << endl;
cout << "It works!!!" << endl;

return 0;
}

To do more than one line of comments, use this instead.

Code:

// dem01-1.cpp
// John C++. Molluzzo

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{ /* This is the body of the
    function main()*/
cout << "This is our first C++ program." << endl;
cout << "It works!!!" << endl;

return 0;
}

The problem with your code is that your cout arrows should be pointing <<, and cin statements should be pointing >>. Also, only put the semicolon at the end of the line, not at the end of what you're couting. Also, you forgot the end quote on "my name is maria". Your code should look like this:

Code:

cout << "My name is Maria" << endl;

I'm sorry, but I refuse to tell you what's wrong with your code. Please reference this page for information on how to start your program. (I'll hint: it's pretty much all wrong).

i really need help with the other two questions if anyone will help, i will be very grateful

You should thank him, you know...

Also, I believe c++programmer has already explained the theory behind what's wrong with the remaining pieces of code. You should not expect us to feed you the answer. Solve the last one yourself, he's told you how to.

If it turns out this thread is one big joke by the poster, oh well, at least I tried. Here's what your code looks like:

Code:

#include <iosteam      main(){     cout << "Is there something [ 
wrong " << endl << endl cout << "with this program"?;   }

This is what your code SHOULD look like:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Is there something wrong with this program?" << endl;

return 0;

}

In fact...why don't you just go ahead and come out and tell us your thread is a joke. Because there's no way someone can have that many problems with their code.

No. I think these are questions from a textbook that etereo has to answer for homework.
