I call int main() and return 0 just for good measure. Its always good to make sure that you return the values to 0 after the program.
But as was said ihsir; that will work also, but if you begin to build more complicated programs, you may run into errors w/o the return 0 and int main() use.
And as far as the DJGPP goes. I got rid of it. It couldn't find iostream.h file for some reason, even though i have all my paths set correctly. Now I'm using borland 5.5 and its much better and easier.
Hello world in 2 lines
#include <iostream.h>
void main() { cout<<"Hello World"; }
Thanks for all the help,this book did not seem right.With your help it works now.
void main() is now outdated and shouldn't really be used, either in C or C++ programs. Most compilers won't complain, so long as you don't try and return a value, but it's good style to include the int delclaration. Also, gcc (the compiler for *nix) doesn't like void main() and will sometimes refuse to compile your program if it includes this line.
