The aim of the following program is to display a statement 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 on the console. A syntax error, however, existed in the program. Rewrite the program and correct it by using the simplest way.

#include

using namespace std;

int main()

{

cout << "5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 << endl;

return 0;

}

Final answer:

The program is in C++ and meant to print '5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5'. The error is corrected by closing the quotes and ensuring the 'cout' statement has proper syntax with 'endl' to create a newline.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to correcting a C++ program with a syntax error. The original code intended to output the statement 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 on the console, but it contains an error. To correct the program, we need to close the quotes around the string and end the cout statement before the endl. Here is the corrected C++ program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
cout << "5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5" << endl;
return 0;
}

This program will compile and execute correctly, displaying the desired statement on the console.
