Well, I can notice one thing: You have declared the variable ready as an integer - shouldn't it be a string?

Also, since you are asking if the user is ready, shouldn't you account for the possibility that they say "No"?

Well the program isnt finished, Im not sure how to make the program acctually if the user enters Yes - run and if they enter No - restart.. i know ill have to use a while statement to make it a loop but yea.. and for the ready variable it may need to be a string idont know. But i planned to fix the ready command; I would just like to be able to see the program work somewhat first though

Let's get one point clarified. You said the program compiles but when you run it does nothing?

The error is in your first line of code - instead of saying

cout << "Whatever." << endl;

you had

cout << "Whatever." >> endl;

which doesn't work, because >> doesn't exist for cout.
