C ++ cout and cin exercice Error: main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’

Question

I am a complete beginner and I have been looking at this code for two days and I just cant figure out what I did that keeps creating this error message:

main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
main.cpp:19:43: error: no match for ‘operator>>’ (operand types are ‘std::basic_ostream<char>’ and ‘const char [25]’)
  value of num1 =" << num1 >> "  and the value of num2 " << num2 >> ".";

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

//variable declaration
int num1, num2, newNum, SECRET;
SECRET = 11;
double RATE = 12.50;
string name;
double hoursWorked, wages;

//executable statements
cout << "Give me two integers"; 
cin >> num1 >> num2;
cout << "The value of num1 =" << num1 << "  and the value of num2 " << num2 << ".";
newNum = (num1*2)+num2;
cout<< "The new value of newNum =" << newNum;
newNum = newNum+ SECRET;
cout<< "The new value of newNum =" << newNum;
cout << "What's your last name?";
cin >> name;
cout << "Enter a decimal number between 0 and 70";
cin >> hoursWorked;
wages = RATE*hoursWorked;
cout << "Name: " << name << "\n" << "Pay Rate: $" << RATE << "\n" << "Hours Worked: "<<hoursWorked << "\n" << "Salary: $  " << wages;
return 0;
} 

Don't use ">>" in cout even if you are printing variable. That was a simple syntax error.

Answer 2

You used the wrong operator :

// cout << "The value of num1 =" << num1 >> "  and the value of num2 " << num2 >> ".";  
//                                  here ^               and              here ^         

You should have used :

cout << "The value of num1 =" << num1 << "  and the value of num2 " << num2 << ".";
