error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier

Question

I am working on the \'driver\' part of my programing assignment and i keep getting this absurd error:

error C2065: \'cout\' : undeclared identifier

Answer 1

before you begin this program get rid of all the code and do a simple hello world inside of main. Only include iostream and using namespace std;. Little by little add to it to find your issue.

cout << "hi" << endl;
