First C++ Application

I heard that almost every C++ programmer, including professionals, started with this exact program:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
        cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
        return(0);
}

---

I was wondering if that is true?

yup.
exept maybe without the parenthesees in return
hehe

Not only many C++ programmers started with the Hello World program.

My first compiled program was actually displaying my address.
But, my professor did give us the "Hello World" example first.
