i did follow the setup instructions exactly and if you could tell me what i need to do to fix this error
5 C:\Dev-Cpp\Untitled1.cpp
parse error before `)' token
i think it will work the code is
#include <windows.h>
main ()
{
()cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
()cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
()getchar ();
return 0;
}
-
i have never ever seen code with the () like that, i dont think its even c++ syntax honestly. Try putting those two files into your header directory and try my code again. Both the one with namespace and the one without.
-
the reason it is not working is because of the () before the cout and the getchar.
just noticed, RoD beat me.
-
-
Code:
extern "C" system(const char *);
int main()
{
system("echo Hello World!");
system("pause");
return 0;
}

i got it to work there was something wrong with compiler i had to download the beta version i made improvements on an example game in there and i think i have a handle on this whole programing thing thing the next thing i am gonna do is gonna be like mad libs your gonna fill in the blanks then the story will pop up with all the words you pop in.( i just got this idea and haven't started to work on it yet) but i think it will be cool. also thanks for all the help. see ya
if you want to play my game could someone post how i put files into these? thanks again and bye
-
put files? do you mean upload files to the board?
if you do, there is an "Attach File" option under Options (no pun intended) and you can do it from there.
-
its right above submit....if you have trouble posting the files email them to me and i will gladly post them here for you.
