1. You're using a deprecated header. Take the '.h' out of iostream.
2. Where is the entry point for your program? I hope you're not actually missing main...

I know every woman today likes to feel empowered and think she's exceptional, but swallow that pride and take this logic aptitude test:

If you don't score well, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate your decision to attempt programming.
