Is that because standard C is used ?

Well it doesnt compile correctly with that change but it does compile with a 'c' placed before the stdioOriginally posted by confuted
change
to thisCode:#include <stdio.h>
Code:#include <stdio> using namespace std;
But I still get the error when linking:Code:#include <cstdio> using namespace std;

Maybe I havent set up my compiler correctly?
I need a 'compiler for dummies' version.
errrr...
You mean, read the instructions?
No, I pretty much just double clicked the installer and then started compiling. Ya think I mighta missd something?
Thanks for all your help!
I think its time to go read some more about my compiler... LOL!
Maybe I should download GLUT37 and start breaking that too...
You should have a help file of some sort which will tell you how to use your compiler and linker. Read that Although it appears that your compiler is kind of old if it won't accept #include <stdio>
Away.
#include <stdio> ?!?!
don't you mean #include <iostream>?
**edit***
for those "TextOut" etc. undefined references, are you including <windows.h>?
The help file is a little sparse on it too.
It was the first compiler that I could copy and paste code into and it worked.
I am basically finding code and seeing what I have to do to get it to compile. I would hate to learn enough C++ to write a large program and then have no way of running it because of compiler issues.
Now I need to learn more about compilers...
Ugh... I shoulda done this years ago... It's easier when the brain cells arent all fused together with complacency ... LOL
window.h is included
I added iostream.h
and I still get the errors...
I never said <iostream.h>, i said <iostream> <-notice no ".h"
If you're still having trouble post a zip file with your project as well as what compiler/OS you're using.
Here is the cpp I am trying to get to compile correctly on Dev-C++ (Version 4)
I teach medical instrumentation, so the homework I give out probably isn't of any use to you :POriginally posted by Grumpy_Old_Man
[B]BTW CAT?
Do you have any homework online?
Perhaps you could throw in a link or two?
This is one of my 2 C++ references that I use all the time (the other being "The C++ Standard Library" by Josuttis). These books are excellent references, although I will admit I haven't used either while learning the language; I don't know how friendly relatively new programmers will find them. I don't think either is aimed at new programmers, actually. They're both books every serious programmer should eventually own, though.The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition

You can ignore the replies that mention source code changes (although they won't hurt and may well improve your readability/standards compliance). Your code compiles, but doesn't link: this suggests that you don't have or aren't linking the proper libraries. Errors in code or headers will show up as failed compilation, not typically failed linking.LOL! The code now compiles with those changes, however [seems like there is always a 'however'] now when i go from the compiler to the linker I get this
Those all seem to be errors with linking WinAPI libraries; try to find a tutorial or such on compiling Win32 apps with your compiler, it will have to include that info.
be sure to include <windows.h> before any other include's. I have had this cause link errors before.
With the exception of having to change the second
toCode:for(u = blah,blah,blah
(because VC doens't allow redefinitions like that.)Code:for(uu = blah,blah,blah
it complied and ran fine with VC++ 6
