I just recently purchased a book to learn how to program in C++ and tried to compile the following program out of that
book:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
     int x=5;
     int y=7;
     cout "\n";
     cout <<x+y<<""<<x*y;
     cout "\n"; 
     return 0;
}

This is the same way it appears in the book and when I compiled it I got the following error messages:


Compiling...
ex1.cpp
C:\Msdev\bin\ex1.cpp(6) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'string'
C:\Msdev\bin\ex1.cpp(8) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'string'
Error executing cl.exe.
ex1.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Can someone please help me. Am I doing something wrong or is there a typo in the documentation?
The compiler I'm using is Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
