    Question Namespace

    I am using Borland C++ 5.02 and my operating system is Windows 2000.
    Im having trouble compiling the following code:-
    Code:
    #include <iostream> 
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
           cout << "Hello World";
           return 0;
    }
    It however compiles in gcc.
    What is wrong with the code displayed above? Why does it not compile in Borland C++ 5.02?
    Thanx in Advance.

    Could be that Borland C++ 5.02 is outdated and does not implement namespaces (correctly).
    Just search the Web and you'll probably get a clearer answer.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Why didn't you post the error message you got?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
