How to get the quotation marks to show

[357mag 3]

I want to print a line of text using cout but there is a word that I want to have quotation marks around it. I want the output to look like this:

 

Looking for the index position of the word "own".

 

What I've tried so far has not worked.

 

Here is what I got currently:

 

int main()
{
    string sentence = "To thine own self be true";
    string word = "own";

    cout << "The sentence is: " << sentence << endl;
    cout << "Looking for the index position of the word \"own\";

    cout << sentence.find(word) << endl;

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Okay I got it going now.

For the benefit of others who will read this discussion in the future...

 

You are simply missing the closing outer quote:

cout << "Looking for the index position of the word \"own\"";
                                                           ^

You might also consider using your 'word' variable:

cout << "Looking for the index position of the word \"" << word << "\"";

Also note that C++14 and later has the std::quoted stream manipulator:

#include <iomanip>
...
cout << "Looking for the index position of the word " << std::quoted(word);
