C++ Newbie

[talldudeX]

Yep, that's me...a C++ newbie...and I'm already having problems.

Whenever I try to compile a simple hello world program, it doesn't work for some reason. Yes, I do have a compiler.

 

#include <iostream.h>

 

int main()

{

cout << "Hello world!\n";

 

return 0;

}

 

Can anyone help me out here? Anyone know where to find some good C++ tutorials or games? Thanks!

I believe you've palced the quote in the wrong place. It goes directly after the !

 

or the return may have to go after the second }

 

I'm not completely sure, I haven't coded in C++ since like January, and the summer tends to reformat my brain.

[Kuuki]

int main()
{
cout <<"Hello world!" << endl;
return(0);
}

 

btw the C++ program should already have a compiler built into the software that you use to make the code....

[SuicidalXWing]

That's true, but then again it also depends on the version of C++ on how the program reacts Scar.

[talldudeX]

I don't really think the code is the problem. I've even purposely screwed up the code to see what would happen, and the same thing always happens. It says there was an error and could not compile it.

[Kuuki]

well you didnt have any problem with your code

its just the return statement was a little off

[SuicidalXWing]

that's it

its the parenthesis

 

() are important

sounds like a personal problem:D

Smartass

[Ewok Hunter]

hmm, do you really[/b need to move to the next line, why not just remove the /n and see if that helps?

[SuicidalXWing]

the () are what is keeping it from compiling, trust me and Scar on this. We did C++ coding a few months back.

yeah you dont need to move to the next line at all, but it really dont matter cus there isnt anything else being outputed

 

BUT!! are you putting in the #include <iostream.h> in the beginning of your code

cus cout will only work with that header file

[SuicidalXWing]

yeah, he is. go to the first post, that's his exact code.

[Kuuki]

nevermind then! im just getting teird

[SuicidalXWing]

Sleep is for the weak.

 

*smacks Scar a few times*

[Kuuki]

sorry im a Mansochrist, so pain does not affect me. but rest is im afrid something i do need, unlike you, which pain effects your judgement, emotion and proformence...

 

 

...human.

[SuicidalXWing]

Um, its masochist, if you truly were one, you'd know that.

 

And I haven't eaten in days, who's the weak one? You require nutrients and sleep to survive, I require nothing.

[Kuuki]

how bout this: you let me beat you or ill have my people send out little increminating photographs of ya...

[SuicidalXWing]

considering I'm never in photographs, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Besides, I gave all your little buddies pay raises to beat you into a bloody pulp.

[Cal_da_Darth]

Can someone just list the full working code for him?

[talldudeX]

I don't think you understand. I didn't write this code myself, I got it from Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ in 21 days. Guess I should have mentioned that. Scarface, I tried your code, and it says there were 3 errors.

[SuicidalXWing]

int main()

{

cout <<"Hello world!" << endl;

}

return(0);

 

 

 

This could be the code, if I had C++ installed, I could help ya out. Perhaps if ya truly can't figure it out, I'll break down and dig it out and install it.

[talldudeX]

Well I talked to a person today that is familiar with C++. They gave me the correct code and it still didn't work. I've come to the conclusion that there's something wrong with my compiler. Thanks for your help anyway, everybody.

[Kuuki]

mine should have worked just fine...

[SuicidalXWing]

Yeah, the compiler must be crap. What version of C++ you running?
