#Correct Code Suddenly Having Fatal Build Errors.

Hello! New to C++ and going through the C++ primer. I built out this code, and it was working just a moment ago, but now it doesn't seem to be working. I decided to copy the original code from the textbook, and it looks as that is also having build errors. I'm using Visual Studio as my IDE, and yeah I just feel stumped as to why it's not working. The debugger says everything is clear. Could it be something with my IDE?

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    
    int currVal = 0 /*Which number is counted*/, val = 0; /*Holds number from input*/
    // read first number and ensure that we have data to process
    if (std::cin >> currVal) { //if the datastream can be read
        int cnt = 1; //no matter what this statment only executes once. 
        while (std::cin >> val) { // read the remaining numbers
            if (val == currVal) { // if the values are the same
                ++cnt; 
                //std::cout << "if statment hit! \n";
                }
            else { 
                std::cout << currVal << " occurs " << cnt << " times" << std::endl;
                currVal = val; 
                cnt = 1; 
                //std::cout << "else statment hit! \n";
            }
        } 
        // remember to print the count for the last value in the file
        std::cout << currVal << " occurs " << cnt << " times" << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
