Without using % it seems easier to me:

cout<<"numbers are:  "<<a<<"   "<<b;

I never used %d so I can't help you if you want to stick to that.

%d is a format specifier that is used with printf (which you will probably be unaware of if you have leart C++ as opposed to C)

Jahan zaib butt the printf format specifiers do not work with cout, you need to look up how cout works which is rather different with it's own set of idiosychrocies. Do not try to mix and match because as you have discovered it doesn't work.
