Thread: SICK SaD NEWBIE HERE

I must be a *bleeping* newb cuz Im following the tutorial on this site and I dont think i even have the right programs! Alls i got is borland 5.5 i just wanna make a simple program right now like in the tutorial:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"Potatos will rule the world YOU CANT ECSCAPE!" ;
return 0 ;
}

So ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh and you SHOULD help because if you do then you'll feel all big and bad cuz you helped a newb and you will rule so just help.

O and if borlands all I need, how do i work the mesS? I cant figure it out. I made a notpad file with this:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"YES, POTATOS WILL STILL DESTROY YOU WITH THEIR SUPER ELECTRIC GRILLMONSTER!" ;
return 0 ;
}

and saved it as hello.rc. but i dont now how to make it run like an actual program!

O yeah, do you guys recommend any specific compilers that are better than this borland mess? (if its not any good that is)

you should have saved it as a .cpp file not a .rc (.rc is a resource file).

it should compile fine.

I prefer MS Visual C++.. but it doesn't really matter.. whatever you are used to is fine.

U.

ok thanks a lot

Wow, thanks a lot. DEV is MUCH easier to use than Borland.

Whatever man, alls I know is I don't have ANY money to go buying compilers all over the place .
