Unrelated, but you may want to read [Why is "using namespace std;" considered bad practice?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1452721/11082165). – Brian61354270 Dec 04 '21 at 16:43

You're compiling using `gcc` (the C compiler). You want to use `g++` (the C++ compiler). – Brian61354270 Dec 04 '21 at 16:44

I have tried the g++ and all the errors are gone but still no output cout keyword is in white colour (should be in blue i think) – Amal Dec 04 '21 at 16:49

`std::cout` is just a global (namespace level) variable. It's not a keyword. – Brian61354270 Dec 04 '21 at 16:50

@Amal `g++ test.cpp` only compiles the code and generates `a.out` executable run that executable. Since you're using windows I guess you'd get `a.exe`. – Ch3steR Dec 04 '21 at 16:52

yeah its done THANK YOU, but why is it "a.exe" why not test.exe thanks – Amal Dec 04 '21 at 17:03

@Amal That's just the default name GCC picks if you don't specify one yourself. You can specify an output name with the `-o` flag, e.g. `g++ test.cpp -o test.exe`. – Brian61354270 Dec 04 '21 at 17:26

Also, if you're just getting started with C++, it's highly recommended that you [enable compiler warnings](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5088460/11082165). For manually compilation, a good basic set of warning flags is `-Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wconversion`. – Brian61354270 Dec 04 '21 at 17:29
