Hey i bought the SAMS LEARN C++ IN 24 HOURS, and it came with a compiler, well I put this code in;

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "WHATS UP DOG!\n";
return 0;
}

Why Wont it work? Should i use another compiler?

//edit ---forget it---
//edit2 hmm the code seems to be right, so what does the compiler tell you why i doenst work..
any error messages ?
or does compiling work and u cant execute it? well in this case it does work u cant just see the window which contains the output, so you have to add
for example

(Toggle Plain Text)

std::cin.get();

in the line above "return 0;"
then the window "waits" for the next "enter"

Chances are it works fine... it just goes away before you can see it...

Shapeless has some good suggestions... an alternative is:

#include <cstdlib>
...
system("PAUSE");

Ok i did it. But im using C++ Builder X, or xx. And it comes up on the bottom iwth the where the file is and then under it, it says Hello World!, But im confused becuz it doesnt come up in a actual console.

Thekingryaan · Jul 18th, 2005, 5:36 PM

Ok instead of using the C++ builder X, i used Dev-C++ the one eleryone talks about, And it worked!, But how do i save it as the exe, so when i click the file it just runs the actual thing

when you compile it in dev-c++ it will create the .exe for you using the same name as the project i believe in the same folder you saved the files

Thekingryaan · Jul 18th, 2005, 5:49 PM

Ok i saved it after compiling, it juste has the soruce file and all that saved.. no exe.

no you cant save it as an .exe u can just save the source- object- and project files.
if compiling and linking is successfull , the ide will build the .exe which of course is in the same directory ( using dev-cpp)

Thekingryaan · Jul 18th, 2005, 6:14 PM

Ya i saved it and then three files came up. HelloWold.cbx , hello.cbx.local , Helloworld.cpp... What do i do to run it out of the compiler. with those files.
