Okay here's the whole program I wrote.

#include <iostream>

void main()
{
	cout << "WTF?????";
}

I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
Here's the error:
main.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
What did I do wrong?????

you may want to make

void main()

into

int main()

and add a

return 0;

at the end of it.

As for the problem with cout... I have no idea.

cout ( as well as cin , endl etc... ) is part of the namespace "std"
Therefore, in order to use it you must either use the namespace:

using namespace std;

or use the identifier std::cout;

It should work as:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
   cout << "WTF?????";
}

or:

#include <iostream>

void main()
{
   std::cout << "WTF?????";
}
