Yes I am learning C++, getting stuck on the hello world is some what noobish but so what <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Here's the problem, I don't understand it

Tonee

Nice mod your downloading there Sir Tonee

Drfuzzy

Think you need to remove the tabbed spaces behind {

And maybe add { behind each string between the first { and last }

Yeah, you've got it. Just remember that a ; after a function delcaration means it's a prototype to be defined later.

Hmm, long time since I used C++, and I might be totally wrong, but shouldn't that be "std::cout <<"? Atleast that's what the book told me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If you want it to be uber-perfect, yeah, or declare the namespace, but cout works just as well. It varies by book on how they teach you.

Edit: Also, the slash is the wrong way. / is just a slash, while \ is the escape character. So it would be \n, and \\ for a backslash.

Im learning c++ too (teaching myself ^^) but iv had previous work in java and the both are alike in some ways and were using the same editor o.O h4x

Yeah if anyone tries to tell you that programming in Java is simpler than C++, tell them to go stick their head in a pig. Every single basic command in Java is about 16 times as long as C++. Eg: to output "Natural Selection"
C++: cout << "Natural Selection";
Java: System.out.println("Natural Selection");

It's even worse when dealing with a GUI. For example, a simple Yes/No dialog:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->JOptionPane.showInternalConfirmDialog(frame,"Please choose one", "information",JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Sorry to hijack the thread but Hibame has a c++ problem too

Im making a console app (no extra mubo for now) and it closes automaticly (I tryed cin>>get(); as the help file said to do but it doesnt pause the program. So my question is is there a way to pause the program to read text then hit any key to continue (or will I read it later in the book about something like grabing key input from ASII code or something like that)?

Hibame, you could just add a useless cin statement with variable info that doesn't do anything. Although that solution will cause any key except the enter key to print text...

I don't know of a way to fix it, but if you want you could start it via the command prompt, which will let you see the last line.
