help with my code

help me please with this code, why doesnt it work !!!!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <limits.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  cout<< numeric_limits<float>::max()<<"\n";
  int a;
  cin>>a;


  return 0;
}

the compiler doesnt recognize ( the numeric_limits ) function
thanks in advance

...

Using the correct limits/cstdio headers will help:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  cout << numeric_limits<float>::max() << endl;
  getchar();   // User needs to press a key to continue.
  return 0;
}

thanks for your reply, but unfortuntally it doesnt work !

Compiler errors on limits ???

There is a good change your compiler is using the old Standard C++ library (which doesn't support limits).
You will need to upgrade to a newer version.

I have the same problem (using gcc v2.7).

thanks monster for your post , I realize you got the answer.
I was trying this on DevC++ and it didnt work, but now its working on VC++6.0

thanks .......
and im sorry for the meaningless title of the thread, i will avoid such titles next times
