I am learning C++ via a book. What I am doing wrong?

Question

I am learning C++ via a book. It told me to type this compile and link it in order for me to see if i can read it. But there are errors when I run this. What is the issue?

#include <iostream>  
int main()  
{   
int x = 8;      
int y = 6;      
std::cout << std::end1;     
std::cout << x - y << " " << x * y << " " << x + y;     
std::cout << std::end1;     return 0;   
}

Without the error, it's kinda hard. But you wrote `std::end1` where it should be `std::endl`, the last character being l instead of 1. — Rosme, Jan 19 '15 at 22:00
What is your error? Could you please show us the command you use to compile? — Jérôme, Jan 19 '15 at 22:00
What you are doing wrong is *assuming that your error message is irrelevant*. It's telling you *what* and *where* the problem is. — Drew Dormann, Jan 19 '15 at 22:00

It should be std::endl; instead of std::end1;

Thank You so much!!! This book is making me worry if I should keep using it. Every time they type 1 it's either a "I' or "l" lol – stutterbox16 Jan 19 '15 at 22:07
