...thx again...now (+ #include <iostream>) it works...but with g++ instead of gcc...

you might need a "return 0;" for gcc since your main returns an integer

Do you have a system speaker?

main in c++ already implicitly returns 0, whether you choose to explicitly write it or not.

I assume so, but probably not because it doesn't beep.

Using this info I wrote the worlds most annoying program. A good question though. Could useful handeling errors. Would that beep work in windows if not is there a windows equivalent.

My very annoying program.

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{  
    int count=0;
	while (count!=100)
	{
		cout << "\a";
		cout << "hello" << endl;
		count++;
	}
 return 0;
}

Thanks in advance for any info.

It wasnt really for any specific thing other than to know how, tho i have made a tiny program so that when the user opens it, the program beeps for about.....an hour? lol

Gonna test it on a mate in school(hehe)

P.S. What site could i learn more about things like \n, \a, etc?

NOT for pranks, just for more knowledge.
