This is the code :
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << " SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" >> endl;
cout << " SS:::::::::::::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S:::::SSSSSS::::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S:::::S SSSSSSS" >> endl;
cout << "S:::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S:::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S::::SSSS" >> endl;
cout << " SS::::::SSSSS" >> endl;
cout << " SSS::::::::SS" >> endl;
cout << " SSSSSS::::S" >> endl;
cout << " S:::::S" >> endl;
cout << " S:::::S" >> endl;
cout << "SSSSSSS S:::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S::::::SSSSSS:::::S" >> endl;
cout << "S:::::::::::::::SS" >> endl;
cout << " SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" >> endl;
cout << "IIIIIIIIII" >> endl;
cout << "I::::::::I" >> endl;
cout << "I::::::::I" >> endl;
cout << "II::::::II" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << " I::::I" >> endl;
cout << "II::::::II" >> endl;
cout << "I::::::::I" >> endl;
cout << "I::::::::I" >> endl;
cout << "IIIIIIIIII" >>
}
This is for school so don't ask why I am writing this code. But i get a lot of errors like the one in the title and I can't seem to find the problem so if anyone can help me, it'll be great!

Answer 1

When writing using the extraction or insertion operator (e.g >> or << respectively) you need to basically point it where you want the flow to go, and not change the flow for that whole statement, to put it in simple terms, in your case you want both insertion/extraction operators that you use to be facing like so << and that one is called an insertion operator.
This is the code you want:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << " SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" << endl;
}
and replicate that for as many times as you want there to be output statements.

Answer 2

Keep the flow going one direction and one direction only:
std::cout << "..." << std::endl;
You've got this going in and out at the same time.
You can't read from std::cout, it's for output only. It's an ostream which means it has no idea what >> even is. That operator isn't defined which is why you get that error.
