Well, I figured it out. To many semicolons. You don't need a semicolon ;
character until you are completely done with your C++ statement. In effect,
in C++ statements, the semicolon is like putting a period at the end of an
English sentence. I was typing:
cout << "this "; << endl;
When in reality, I should have typed:
cout <<"this" endl;
I was putting the semicolon in the wrong place, making the compiler think I
was ending one C++ statement. Then it didn't know what to do with the
<<endl; part of the code, since both statements were on the same line, it
treated them as one statement. And of course, the compiler isn't smart
enough to realize that the << endl; is part of the same statement, so it
thinks you've completed a statement, when in fact you haven't. Wow, I'm
actually learning something here.
Jess
