    question about STL

    Hi, there,

    I got a question about STL that bothers me a lot.

    I cannot even do this simple one,

    #include <iostream>
    void main()
    {
    cout << "Hello World" << endl ;
    }

    It gave me this:

    Compiling...
    1.cpp
    E:\temp\1.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
    E:\temp\1.cpp(5) : error C2297: '<<' : illegal, right operand has type 'char [12]'
    E:\temp\1.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'endl' : undeclared identifier
    Error executing cl.exe.

    1.obj - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

    I know it's problem with STL, but don't know what on earth is wrong. I have the library files for STL, such as LIBCP.LIB, LIBCPMT.LIB, MSVCPRT.LIB, LIBCPD.LIB, etc, in the directory of 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB' or 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB'.

    Do I need to set anything up in VC++. Btw, I'm using MSVC++ 6.0.

    Thanks a lot.

    Joe

    First off, before anyone yells at you, make sure you do int main() since void main() is bad bad bad!

    Second, put the line "using namespace std;" after your first line and your program should work fine.
