Hello! I am making a text-based game (I am new to C++) called The Final Journey (I made the name up, didn't copy) and I have had some trouble with the code. I am using Dev-C++ (I plan to get VC++), just so you know. Here is what I have so far:
#include<iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//Intro
cout << "Welcome to The Final Journey v. 0.0.3 Alpha."<<endl;
system("pause");
cout << "You are an adventurer, traveling from town to town, looking for monsters and bold followers."<<endl;
cout << "Your homeland is Chosan, a small town on the Cho River. Through the years, you have traveled far and wide, eventually returning in your home land."<<endl;
cout << " "<<endl;
cout << " "<<endl;
cout << "This... is where you begin..."<<endl;
cout << "THE FINAL JOURNEY."<<endl;
system("pause");

/*Random Integer 1-9 Generator
srand ( time(NULL) );
rannum = rand() % 9 + 1;*/ //Between comments ( /*Here!*/ ) in random number generator.
//Game Starts
//WAKE UP

}I get these errors:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
LINE --- MESSAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
86 invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char'
87 no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::operator>> [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>](((std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)(&std::cin)), ((char&)(&tin))) >> std::endl'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone please help? (And also, if the city name "Chosan" and "Cho River" are real, tell me. I came up with them by randomly pressing a few letters like this: fnoq = funoq or funoque or something like that)
