Hi All,
I am getting an warning "No Newline at the end of the file". I have tried to print only "Hello" instead of the main program then also I am getting the warning for the single line program. Can any body advise on this.
Thanks,

What's your best guess on what's causing the warning?
It is standard for all text files in UNIX or Linux to always have a newline (Empty line) at the end of the file. Many utilities have problems with text files without the final newline.Quote:

I have never tested this with a C compiler, but not surprised.
It's not an empty line at the end of the file, as a lot of people seem to believe. It's a newline character at the end of each line. A text file with n lines has exactly n newline characters, so a text file with no lines has no newline characters. (That said, many text editors do display an empty line at the end of a proper text file, even though that line doesn't actually exist.)Quote:

Either way, the C and C++ standards require that all lines in a source file to end in a newline character(s). (I mention C++ because the source file in OP's screenshot is Untitled6.cpp, which indicates a C++ source file.)
