Can someone please help me out? What are the pros and cons of C++ and Java? I've always been told that C++ is the ultimate programming language. It's powerful, fast, and used to run huge programs....

I'm including these three files in my C++ program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream.h>


The C++ compiler I am using (Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2) Allows me to run this program....

I see. Thank you very much =)

Now, we all know that // makes a comment. But I have a question about the compiling of the program? Say you were to make a comment with a whole bunch of underscores to signify a different section...

Yeah, I know. I just caught that spelling mistake. By the way, there's no mistake in Length / 2.0;. It's fine. Anyway, all of the problems are typos. It turns out that when it highlights the ...

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

Thanks.

Cool. Thanks for the info links. But I just have one more question. It was mentioned that
But in the code that I got from n.aggel, there was #define HEADER_H. That's only one symbol, right? Or...

Now I'm really confused. When I don't include system("PAUSE"); then the console screen just pops up and instantly disappears. What are #ifndef and #define, and what's #endif? It works, thanks. ...

Actually that's not the problem. The function was specified in another source file called proto.cpp. Anyway, I was playing around with the source files and somehow figured out how to make it work. ...

main.cpp

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include "header.h"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
variable = 20;
function();

Hey, I'm just starting to learn C++ and I need some help with a header file. I'm using a Dummies Guide book and it says that I need to create a header file with the extension .h. SO I created a...
