Djgpp error, possibly with the headings i'm using

OK I'm getting error messages doing the simplest program available, it could be an error with a header or djgpp or I dont know...I have been using djgpp for nearly 2 days and its my first compiler, so thats about how much experience i have.\
THE PROGRAM

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout>>"heY";
return 0;
}

Plz helP! ty

Ok I'm about bright, totally forgot the error messagez...
(Give me a break, itz my first time =|

I am kinda new at C++ and I don't know anything about djgpp but try this.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "heY";
return 0;
}

---

try:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hey!";
    return 0;
}

---

Couple of things...
1) <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>.

2) 'std::cout' vice 'cout'. Placing 'std::' tells the compilier what object the cout function is in. As an alternative, you could include 'using namespace std;' at the beginning of main. This tells the compiler to look for otherwise undefined functions in the std object.

3) The redirection operator. The redirection operators >> and << basically show the direction of data flow. In your original program you had:

Code:

---

cout>>"heY";

---

What you've said is take the output from cout and pass it to the string "HeY". Two problems 1) cout doesn't return anything and 2) "HeY" isn't a variable and can't accept any values. The statement

Code:

---

std::cout << "Hey!";

---

passes the string "Hey!" to the function cout which, in turn, displays it on your monitor. As you learn C++ you'll use the >> redirection operator in things like 'cin >> MyVar' which takes input from the user and places it into MyVar.

It's still not working...I got these errors anyway

C:\djgpp>gcc test.cc -o test.exe -lm
c:/djgpp/tmp/cc35pF8W.o(.text+0x1f):test.cc: undefined reference to `std::cout'
c:/djgpp/tmp/cc35pF8W.o(.text+0x24):test.cc: undefined reference to `std::basic_

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

using this:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hey!";
return 0;
}

So im still @)$#ed

Don't know what to tell you. That little snippet of code should work. Have you tried reinstalling/redownloading your compiler to make sure your copy is the most recent version and is uncorrupted? Or maybe try another compiler?

gcc is the c compiler, gxx is the c++ compiler

Try
gxx test.cc -o test.exe -lm
