Actually, if you're wanting this to be C, then it should be rewritten 
like so:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
   printf("yadda yadda yadda\n");
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

The mixture of C (stdlib.h) and C++ (iostream and namespaces) is not 
a good thing.

If you want this to be C++, then it should be:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;
// or more appropriately using std::<whatever you're using>

int main()
{
   cout << "yadda yadda yadda" << endl;
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

HTH.
