Thank you - but you didn't post the error messages.

cout is a buffered stream. This means it saves the output in a buffer,
    until a long block of optimal size is obtained. The buffer isn't
    written to output until it is full, or gets flushed. I don't
    believe the standard requires the buffer to flushed when the
    program exits. So if you do not use << flush, or << endl here, you
    may see no output.
