Every Hello World You Can Make!

[Lansing_Banda]

I found a complete list of hello world functions, go now:

[souleman]

#include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
        std::cout << "Hello, Ward." << std::endl;
 }

thats the most screwy version of C++ hello world I have ever seen.... Not only does it not spell world properly, but whats with all the std:: crap...

Well, cout is in the std namespace (as is endl), so technically you should use std::cout when you want to send data to the standard output.

Edit: Went on the Wiki and corrected the spelling mistake for you souleman.

I know its in means stdout, but who the hell actually programs like that?

[pwaring]

Me.

Yeah a lot of the diehard C++ programmers (*cough*pwaring*cough*) think that using

using namespace std;

completely destroys the purpose of having namespaces. I don't do it but If you want a page long explanation with charts, graphs, quotes, and a gif or two then ask pwaring all about it

[souleman]

pwaring> if you want a language that requires you to type all sorts of crap before you can output a line use java..

System.out.println is a lot longer then cout

[pwaring]

I use Java as well.

I just think that you should be explicit wherever possible in any language - the only exception to this being Perl because it's good enough for one-liners.
