Haha, Newbie question here!

Expand Post »

Ok, no matter what compiler i use, i can never find a compiler that will build/compile/run a single file like the one I have used in my school.

i got Code::Blocks to compile my test file

the code is short:
// Test file

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
include <iostream>
int main()
{
    cout << "yarg!" end1;
return 0;
}
include <iostream>
int main()
{
    cout << "yarg!" end1;
return 0;
}

can anyone please help me? the book I have starts off with single file programs and this is a major mountain that I keep stopping at whenever I start to read this book.

Thank You

Re: Haha, Newbie question here!

it should read: cout << "yarg!" << endl; instead.

Re: Haha, Newbie question here!

And you're likely experiencing problems with the std:: namespace. Try prefixing cout and endl with std:: .

Or, if you don't like doing that, just add

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

using namespace std;

after you include <iostream>.

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "yarg!" << end1;
return 0;
}
include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "yarg!" << end1;
return 0;
}

No errors, yet the run, build, and other buttons of that sort are grayed and unusable.

Re: Haha, Newbie question here!

You probably failed to create a new project. Select menu item File --> New Project, then select the Console Project icon then fill in the rest of the information. After that those buttons and menu items will be enabled.

Re: Haha, Newbie question here!

It should be endl, not end1.

Also, you forgot to put a # symbol before 'include'. It should read:

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>

Re: Haha, Newbie question here!

Use code tags. You can use [code] (code goes here) [/code] for any language, or for language-specific highlighting, you can do [code=language] (for example, [code=c++]) and of course [/code].
