[Dev-C++] Error message - newline in constant

[Louis B. <bar...@ho...>]

Hi again,

   I don't know if the message I put out earlier had the code so please 
excuse me if this is redundant.

   I get the error message: newline in constant from the fllowing code,
and I don't understand.

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

#include "DateAndTime.h"

/*void incrementMinutes( DateAndTime &, const int );*/

int main()
{
    DateAndTime dt;

   	int choice;

    do
	{
		cout << "\n\n            Select a function\n\n"
			 << "     Command            Description  \n\n"
			 << " Enter S        Execute the set functions\n"
			 << "       G        Execute the get functions\n"
			 << "       R        Execute run parameter functions\n"
			 << "       D        Execute display functions\n"
			 << "       5        to show standard date and time \n"
			 << "       6        to show military date and time \n"
		 	 << "       ------------------------------------------- \n"
		 	 << "       E to exit\n";
		cin >> choice;


		switch (choice)
		{
		case 'S':
				cout << "Set functions\n";
				break;
		case 'G':
				cout << "Get functions\n";
				break;
		case 'R':
				cout << "Run functions\n";
			    break;
		case 'P':
				cout << "Problem exercises\n";
			    break;
		case 'E':
				cout << "End of Program\n";
				break;
		default:
				cout << "Invalid Selection, Try S, G, R, P, E\n";
		}
	} while (choice != 'E');

   dt.setHour( 17 );
   dt.setMinute( 34 );
   dt.setSecond( 25 );

   cout << "Result of setting all valid values:\n"
        << "  Hour:   " << dt.getHour()
        << "  Minute: " << dt.getMinute()
        << "  Second: " << dt.getSecond();

   dt.setHour( 234 );    // invalid hour set to 0
   dt.setMinute( 43 );
   dt.setSecond( 6373 ); // invalid second set to 0

   cout << "\n\nResult of attempting to set invalid hour and\n"
        << "  Hour:   " << dt.getHour()
        << "  Minute: " << dt.getMinute()
        << "  Second: " << dt.getSecond() << "\n\n";

   dt.setDateAndTime(10, 21, 2001, 11, 58, 0 );

   int spin_me;

   cout << "Enter the number of times to spin this: ";
   cin  >> spin_me;
   cout << "\nSpinning the counters " << spin_me
        << " times:\nStart time: ";
   dt.printStandard();
   cout << "\nTime: ";
   dt.ticks( dt, spin_me);
   cout << "\n";
   return (0);
}
