I've been going through this cool FAQ by AdrianXW, BUT for some reason my compiler doesn't have iostream.
I've looked for it in the #include directory and it's just not there. cout << doesn't work because of this also...
could it be that iostream is a cpp header file or what am I doing wrong?...
many thanks,
mako
Yes, iostream is purely C++.
What compiler are you using? Most C compilers are also C++ compilers, and they use a switch or file extension to determine how to compile and link.
Well, you posted your question on the C board -- C language does not support iostream! Use stdio.h instead.
Check for iostream.h, which is what older compilers have.I've looked for it in the #include directory and it's just not there.

That would still make it C++, albeit an older standard.Check for iostream.h, which is what older compilers have.
thx for all the replies. I use mingw gcc in eclipse with makefiles. And there's no iostream or .h so I figure it's just a c ompiler, which I'm cool with.
