Instead of putting std::cout everywhere you need it, you could just use: using std::cout; in place of using namespace std;. And you could use a separate using directive on a separate line for each case, like:
using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::whatever;

your compiler is confusing your distance formula with the distance function of the iterator
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iterator/distan...
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iterator/
you have
using namespace std;
and distance is part of std
so that's the one it uses
I'm not entirely sure why
I didn't look at it that closely
anyway, you should comment out the
using namespace std;
and put
std::cout
everywhere you need it
and fix it everywhere else too
its actually considered bad practice to do
using namespace any_nameapce;
you should always use the prefix method
for this particular reason
oh, next time put your code in pastebin.com
it makes it so much easier to read
