Question

See program below. I keep getting a Lexical preprocessor error 'iostream' not found. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int toothpicks, h_pick, c_pick;

bool game_finished;

do {

game_finished = false;

toothpicks = 23;

while (!game_finished)

{

cout << "Welcome to the toothpick game!" <<endl;

cout << "Please pick up your toothpick(s). Choose between 1, 2, and 3." << endl;

cin >> h_pick;

toothpicks = toothpicks - h_pick;

cout << toothpicks << " toothpicks are remaining." << endl;

if (toothpicks == 1 && c_pick == 1)

{

cout << "You have won! Congratulations!" << endl;

game_finished = true;

}

if (toothpicks >4)

{

c_pick = 4 -h_pick;

cout << "The computer took " << c_pick << " toothpick(s)." << endl;

}

else if (toothpicks >= 2 && toothpicks <= 4)

c_pick = toothpicks - 1;

cout << "The computer took " << c_pick << " toothpick(s)." << endl;

}

c_pick = 1;

if (toothpicks == 1|| h_pick == 1)

cout << "The computer has won! Too bad!" << endl;

game_finished = true;

if (h_pick > 3 || h_pick < 1)

{

cout << "Please enter a correct value." << endl;

continue;

}

if (toothpicks < 0)

{

cout << "Game will now restart. (Press 4 to quit)" << endl;

cin >> h_pick;

break;

}

}

while (toothpicks > 0);

return 0;

}
