    Hey ringo I'll help you

    I dont think people on here half the time argue about this but the easiest way to get started is to make sure you put after
    #include (iostream)
    is
    using namespace std;

    and even if people dont think its a good idea to use, as someone new, it wont matter in the slightest.

    Enjoy programming dont let anyone put you off, and reach as far as you want to go, that's what I am doing and I will get there!

      x=0;
      do

    That's a for loop

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
       int x;
       for(x=0; x<2; x++) //set x to 0, while x is less than 2, increase x by one each time
       {
          std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
          getch();
       }
       return 0;
    }
    I didn't test it... may be a problem or two...

    That means that whatever member on the right of it is part of the std namespace.

    You can think of namespaces as a way to organize your code. Functions, definitions and data that share a common task can be put into a namespace so that others can use the same names you used (common names like create, destroy, etc) but be in a different namespace.

    You can place std:: in front of all the standard library members but you don't have to if you include them all in at once, or one at the time:
    Code:
    using namespace std;  // all at once
    
    // one at the time
    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;
    The std:: is needed unless you do one of the above.
