    trouble with dev c++

    i am using hte dev c++ 5 beta program. and i made a c document and wrote
    #include < stdio.h >
    main ( )
    {
    printf ("Goodbye Cruel World!!!!");
    return (0);
    }
    it said there was no such this as stdio.h is htis because im using a beta compiler? i saw another post and a guy is trying to find wherere he can download header files, I think he is having the same problem

    (note: yes im a newb who wants to learn c++ but all the tutorials sya I shoiudl learn c first)

    bah... c++ is not any harder that C!

    If your just starting out it will be more difficult to learn c then c++.
    If your goal is c++... learn it.. I started out on it..
    easy..

    here is your program in c++

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        cout << " Goodbye cruel world!"
        
        cin.get();
        return 0;
    }
    and cin.get is what makes the program stay on the screen untill you type a key and hit enter
    What is C++?

    Well...C isn't a waste of time. In benchmark tests it ranks higher in performance over cpp (depending on what you are doing of course). C++ is handy for the most part but if you want small and efficient c is best.

    As for your initial question. Make sure that you also have Dev-c++ using the correct include path. For that you would go Options->Compiler Options->Directories. But I think your problem should have been resolved by earlier advice.

    May i point out that your simpson quote is incorrect.

    u have:

    Simpson, Homer Simpson, hes the greatest guy in his-tor-ey! From the, town of brigfield, he's bound ot hit a tree! - as said by Homer


    when it should be:

    Simpson, Homer Simpson, hes the greatest guy in his-tor-ey! From the, town of springfield, he's about to hit a chestnut tree! - as SUNG by Homer.


    thank you.!

    I never said C was a waste of time.. i just meant that it would be alot easier to start out in C++ if the only reason you were learning C is to go into c++ (make any sense?).
    What is C++?
