I have started a C++ class and I am just in the very beginning and I am working on a excercise and I keep receiving an error C2784, even though for the 2 first excercises I did today everything worked fine. The difference was I loaded a solution file for the first two, they had to be converted but everything worked. This one was a new project file I started. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
	//declare variables
	double beginningBalance = 0.0;
	double deposit = 0.0;
	double withdrawal = 0.0;
	double endingBalance = 0.0;

	//enter input items
	cout << "Enter your beginning balance: ";
	cin >> beginningBalance;
	cout << "Enter your deposit amount: ";
	cin >> deposit;
	cout << "Enter your withdrawal amount: ";
	cin >> withdrawal;

	//calculate ending balance
	endingBalance = beginningBalance + deposit - withdrawal;

	//display output items
	cout >> "Your ending balance is $" << endingBalance << endl;

	return 0;
} // end of main function

this is the error the compiler says:

[apw5020]

Take a look at this line:
cout >> "Your ending balance is $" << endingBalance << endl;
Does it look right to you?

Im pretty sure you could fix this by removing all your existing using "" entries and just putting

using namespace std;

EDIT: nevermind I think the way you did that is correct.

[deery5000]

apw is correct

happens to the best of us at time , call it a typo

cout <<
cin >>

look at the line apw has posted for you

Hope this helps
Kevin

[sherinfee]

you said that you have just started c++,ha?
be more careful at "cin and cout" i mean "<< and >>"!
good luck!
