Problem with cout

I'm new to this so I was starting the tutorial and on lesson one I found something wrong. I found out first mistake was <iostream.h>
Program: Test.cpp
#include <_iostreamP.h>

int main()

{

cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!";

return 0;

}

Once I compiled it I got this error message:

In function 'int main()':
Test.cpp(7) Error: 'cout' undeclared (first use this function)
Test.cpp(7) Error: (Each undeclared indentifier is reported only once for each function in appears in)

Thanks for all your help. Trevor

The 'include' is <iostream.h>.

Or, #include <iostream> coupled with 'std::cout' vice 'cout', i.e.:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!";

return 0;
}

Thank you Skipper That worked thanks again. Trevor

The best way is like this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello";

    return 0;
}

face_master, if by best you mean non-standard then you are correct. skipper's example is correct. You can also do this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using std::cout;
    cout << "HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!";
    cout << "I'm using cout without typing 'std::' every time";

    return 0;
}
