I'm really sorry I have to ask this...
I'm having a hard time Converting from C to C++
I can't seem to get Hello World working.

1 #include <iostream.h>
2
3 int main()
4 {
7 cout << "\n\nHello World!\n";
8 return 0;
9 }

Your code should read:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "\n\nHello World!\n";
return 0;
}

Cheers,

I just compiled it - and it's just fine. Can you tell me what errors you are getting?

[tampabay420]

Thanx for the help, i get this error on multiple computers and multiple versions of Windows...

Edit*
More Madness: I have no trouble compiling C code. Only get errors with C++ source.

[mathgirl32]

Sorry, I don't think I'm familiar with your compiler. I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.

Just so you can see the the results of your code I've attached a screen shot.

-Thanx any way gals/guys...
-I guess i'll just stick to C anyway!
-Peace*

tampabay420: If you use the code that cgkanchi posted, your program will work. You forgot the "using namespace std;" right after your includes. It's a commonly overlooked thing and is not required by all compilers.

[bludgeon]

Try it like this:

#include <iostream.h>
void main(void)
{
cout << "Hello, World!";
}

I don't think you need the using. . . line with your compiler.

[HaLCy0n]

The program that bludgeon posted will work, but I believe that is following the older standards. Let me explain exactly what the using namespace command does.

When you use the standard C++ functions, they are declared in the "std" scope. For example, if I did not put the "using namespace std;" I would have to say something like, "std::cout << "Hello World\n";" in order for it to work. That's just a little explanation.

If you wanna read more indepth about how namespaces work exactly, here's a link for you: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/tut5-2.html

Hope this helps.

I used the using namespace std;
-didn't work... but the link you sent was great. Thanx :-)

Both didn't work, same error... Look at the screen shot...

-Maybe it's my compiler...
