iostream error

I'm using DevC++ as my compiler and the #include <iostream> is failing to define my 'cout' and 'cin' commands and I have no idea why. As soon as it hits the first 'cout' it stops compiling and returns an error saying that it is undeclared.

cout, cin and cerr (for error messages) live in the "std" namespace in standard C++. To refer to these variables use std::cout, std::cin, or std::cerr, or, less advisably, include the line "using namespace std;".
