    code not working in codeblocks?

    I know this code should compile right it does fine in dev c++, but for some reason it can't find the header file iostream? Is there something different that you have to do in codeblocks or something?

    The CodeBlocks installation installs a compiler by default (a GCC variant, I'm not sure offhand which one). Since different compilers and compiler versions often rely on a set of environment variables being set, it is quite possible there is a conflict between the compiler associated with Dev C++ and the one with codeblocks. These sorts of problems can also happen if you configure CodeBlocks to use another compiler. Look at the compilation options (within project settings).

    If you've selected a different (non-default) compiler for CodeBlocks to use, check the age of that compiler. Some older compilers (dating from mid 90s and earlier) do not support <iostream>.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    Compiler mix ups are super annoying, I had this same problem with installing OpenGL and Glut, I ended up doing system restore and just doing OpenGL on a different computer.
