Answer 1

Can you share your code here? Either copy into Code Playground or copy the offending line in your question to help us answer it :)

Answer 2

do you have these: { } in your code? Sounds like it's expecting a brace but the next operator was << or something

Answer 3

#include <iostream>
using namespace std
int main ()
cout << " some text" << endl;
cout << " some text";
return 0;

Answer 4

the error happens on the fourth line after the first cout
