Please Help!!!!1

Hello to all. I'am totally new to programming in C++, and already its ........ing me off. I dont know whats wrong with the program. I write it how it says. http://www.cprogramming.com/compiler.html so if there is any Compilers you know of that are good and free just reply to this post. Thank you for taking the time for reading this. Have a nice day.

Want to be more descriptive in whats wrong. (Hey I can help for once!)

What compiler? And what problem are you having?

http://www.bloodshed.net/ <- Dev-C++ IDE with the GCC compiler

Note, to be standard C++, that code really should be:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  cout<<"The Compiler Works";
  return 0;
}

---

**edit**
If the screen is flashing on really quickly, and then disappearing, read the FAQ.

Cheers

I didn't think about that. You're supposed to put

using namespace std

after your includes. It allows you do use the cout function. If you don't do the above it won't reconize cout. You can do something like

Code:

---


std::cout << "Hey" << endl;

---

I think thats it. Not sure though

>> I think thats it.
Yep, that'll work in place of the using declaration.

**edit**
You'd need std::endl instead of endl then too. ;)

Well that made me feel smart! I better go to sleep soon before I ruin this good feeling of intelligence!
