Function Troubles...

I wrote out a simple game trying practice and I came up with the strangest problem that I can't seem to debug.
It's probably just because I don't understand the error. Can anyone help?
Code section with error:
---------------------------------------------------------------

bool intro(void)
{
cout<< "Brave Knight!!! What is your name? \n";
IN(name); //line 36
cout<<"We are in need of your help "<< name
<<", our village is being over run \nby " //line 38
<<"the Goblins of the Northern Caves. Will "
<<" you help us? \n \n";
cout<< "1) Yes \n"
<< "2) No \n \n";
int response;
IN(response);
return !(response == 1, "of course my children");
}

Can anyone help?

ive never seen the --line 36 type of code before in the middle of a cout statement. what are you trying to do?

oops I suppose I should have written it as a comment...what it was supposed to be. I apologize for that.

I've fixed the code and that's what it should look like now.

did you try to re-compile it?
