Where is iostream.h after deleting Visual Studio?

I used to use Microsoft Visual Studio but recently I deleted it and removed all the files under its directory.

Now i'm using CodeBlocks and I need to use iostream.h but i can't find it. Maybe it was stored under VS's directory and I've deleted it. Maybe many other standard header files were deleted too.

How can I get these files again?

Code::Blocks is just the IDE. You now need the compiler, which must be matched for your system. I don't use Code::Blocks, but MinGw is one that's commonly used. Read up on it, before you install the wrong one, however!

If you search this forum, you'll find some suggestions, I'm sure. Look for Code Blocks or Code::Blocks, in the C forum. Search is 12 o'clock on C forum's page.

If you are looking for C++ header files, you're in the wrong forum, BTW. C uses io.h, and C++ now uses iostream (with no dot h, I believe).

C does NOT use io.h (stop quoting your crappy old DOS compiler!)

C I/O comes from stdio.h

@ZuckMitnick
Make sure you download the code::blocks package with "mingw" in the title (it's a larger file).
It's larger, because it includes the IDE and the compiler.

io.h certainly IS included in some modern compilers. It is no longer part of the standard for C, but it is nevertheless, included in the very latest Pelles C versions.

Irrelevant. Anything not part of the standard should be avoided, and not promoted in any way or form.

So? no longer? K&R has io.h ?

You mean it's included as a crutch to help ancient programmers limp along without them having to relearn too much.

Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

Wow, I'm tempted to make a quote of that. The only thing that could have been better would be for "that" to be changed to "your" XD

My post?
Heh, go ahead and make your quote Elysia, and I'll edit my post to make it work :D

Haha. Perfect!

Go back to Code::Blocks and download codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe
... That is Code::Blocks IDE with the GCC for windows compiler already installed.
