    Smile Need someones help

    Hi,

    I was wondering if someone could help me get started. I used to know some C but that was a while ago. I want to learn C++ now. I downloaded Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition for a compiler but have no idea how to get a program working. I did the hello world program but dont know what to do next....I guess I need someone to help me out with just compiling this program and I can teach myself.....

    Sorry for sounding dumb, I know this is like asking how to chew for alot of you

    Thanks

    Once you have your code, say this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    
    	cout << "Hello Mom!" << endl;
    
    	cout << "5 + 5 = " << (5+5) << endl;
    
    	return 0;
    
    }
    Then from the Build Menu (I am guessing that is what it is in that version) click compile. Then when that is done from same menu click (build menu) click build.

    Then you can run the program your self (it will be in /debug from wherever you working cpp file is) or from the build menu you can execute the file (or Ctrl+F5 should execute it).

    Look up a tutorial and read it through there are plenty around. just search "c++ tutorial" in google.
