Answer 1

I got No Output.

Then added one more <

then it was fine.

Answer 2

"Surely"
cout didn't overload < operator but overload <<
so < is just comparison operator

cout>"\n Hello World";
return true/false(1/0)
Mr:
cout << (cout>"\n Hello World");

It's kinda bad explaination bc I'm not good at both c++ and english >.<

Answer 3

.....
And Why don't mention or like to @Liam?

Answer 4

oh sorry it wasn't submitted due to this internet that is moving at the speed of sloth , but I want to say that the less than sign doesn't work in that way .

Answer 5

@maual
Actually I am asking why it isn't showing any compilation error , I know that it doesn't give any output .
and @very hard , thanks for that explanation but it still doesn't explain most of the riddle .

Answer 6

because the operator '<' means less than. so it wont throw any error.
