     }


     cout << setprecision (2) << fixed << showpoint;

      cout < "Item Description:" << stock.getDescription ()<< endl;

Answer 1

You wrote cout < on the last line, where you should have cout << .

I'm assuming the message said operator << ; C++ interpreted it as comparing cout to "Item description:" << stock.getDescription() << endl , but "Item description:" << stock.getDescription()" by itself doesn't make sense, so it gave an error.
