Thread: Complete Beginner, HELP!!

Hey britney!
add this just below (#include <iostream>)

#include <stdlib.h>
----------------------------------
and add this also on top of (return 0

system ("pause");
=======================================
your program should look like this:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   cout << "Hello Mr.Gates, MICROSOFT sucks!\n";
   system ("pause");
   return 0;
}

Try it, it'll work!
I'm also using Dev-C++ IT ROCKZ!!!
look, I'm just a bigenner like you, just a bit better, lol
keep asking and get a bigenners C++ book.
no one is born with knowledge, you have to get it yourself

And guys!
what's (using namespaces std ?
tell me all about it, I see no difference when putting or removing it from my code!

look, I didn't understand what you said, but here's your code, it's perfect...
works fine with dev c++ 4

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>//for system pausing
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout << "HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n" << endl; /*ends the line*/
   system ("pause");// make the system ask for pressing a key to terminate
   return 0;
}

<stdlib.h> is a deprecated header (like <iostream.h>). Instead use <cstdlib> with the std namespace. Same thing goes for all standard C headers included in the C++ standard: the new names for <header.h> are <cheader>.

You could also run your program from the shell. That way you would need to pause it to see the output (i.e. open a DOS prompt, cd into the program directory, and type "prog-name.exe").
