Ok here i've one last question.
I've consulted many books and is that my teacher told me to add:
before starting every program.Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> void main()
But as i've found in many books including Deitel's book, here the code is such as:
~~Please clear my doubts for this. What's the difference between them??Code:#include <iostream> int main() { // your code return 0; }
And can i use both for my compiler Borland C++??
<iostream.h> is a pre-standard header. It should not be used for new code. <conio.h> is a non-standard header. Whether you need it depends on what you are trying to do.Originally Posted by Aash
Generally, void main is incorrect: the global main function should have a return type of int. However, as a special exception, there is no need to explicitly return from the global main function; a missing return statement is effectively the same as placing return 0; at the end.
<iostream> is a standard header.
You can easily answer this question yourself. I suggest that you try the sample program on Stroustrup's compiler list. As Stroustrup asserts, "if an implementation cannot handle this simple program as written, it is not a good candidate for learning Standard C++", i.e., if your version of Borland C++, when configured correctly, cannot compile that sample program, then you should not be using it as your tool for learning standard C++.

@laserlight: I tried that simple program. As i'm using Borland C++ 5.02, so it gave 5 warnings on compiling. I typed the name but it didn't display the word "hello". After typed the name the program terminated. I need your guidance, which IDE should i've to use now??
As i'm just in the begining stage.
the IDE question was answered earlier as was the code problem u could have solved by just messing about even if u didnt understand the message fully
