The code tags that the little popup referred to that caused you to put (open brace) and (close brace) work like this:
[code]
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
}
[/code]
Which causes the code to look like this:
Code:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
}
Now use the empty Win32 console application and put in that code. Check the FAQ here to see answers to question like how to use code tags, the difference between iostream.h and iostream, and why the console disappears. For simplicity's sake (in the short run) put "using namespace std;" on its own line under the #include <iostream> and you don't have to add the "std::" everywhere.
