Thread: Declaration Syntax Error

Hello,
Im new so let me first say hi to everyone... Hello World!
I just started a C++ programming book, which begins with the "hello world" lesson.
Im using Borlands free compiler
Windows 98SE
512MB RAM
30G Hard Drive
If this info helps

When I try to compile it I get this error message:

Error E2141 lesson1.cpp 3eclaration syntax error
***1 errors in compile***

I ran the exact same same source code last week and it worked fine. Then I go to show my wife and BAM! I looked like a total idiot! (please hold your comments hehe)

If you can help I'd really appreciate it very much!

If I would have had that happen in front of a supervisor I would probably resign before he could say "... and who hired you?" LOL

Heres the code and thanks for replying so quickly.

// Lesson 1 (simple cpp program)

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
Int main()
{
cout <<"Hello world!";
return 0;
}

You were right on it! All is well in noviceville!

You are so right about real-world situations! Its bound to happen, but lets just hope they were as patient as youve been.
Thank you VERY much... you helped me save face with my wife lol.
Have a Great Day!!!

isnt that the truth...

I showed an alpha release of a game i was making(with my small dev team) to some one interested in hosting our web site, and low and behold a had forgotten to include a frame timer/limiter in my code so it was coded to run normal on "MY" video card, but they happened to have one much better and a much better comp all arround, the next day i got an e-mail from them asking if the game was supposed to be in fast forward or not because thats how it looked to them... lol i just explained the situation to them, fixed the problem then showed them... i got the webspace then their host dumped them so now we are out of a site... again =(
