MUD Coding

Hello. I've been interested in learning some coding and just today bought C++ for Dummies. I only got several pages into the book when it had me do a really basic code on Devcpp. I put in cout << "Hello, this is your computer talking." << endl;
and I compiled it and it told me there was an hour in the cout, it was undescribed or something like that and in the endl. Any ideas to what is wrong? Thank you.

First rule of coding: a vague error description is barely any better than no description at all. Always give the exact error in question. In this case, it's probably because you didn't #include <iostream>, or didn't use 'using namespace std;', or maybe something else.
