basic simple question

[lamayo]

I'm new at C++ and I cant get my compiler to do what I want it to do. I found a tutorial that says enter the following

#include <iostream.f>
int main
{
cout <<&quot;sum text&quot;;
return 0
}

When I do the following errors come up:

22 C:\Dev-Cpp\Templates\main.c:1
iostream.f: No such file or directory.

3 C:\Dev-Cpp\Templates\main.c
syntax error before '{' token

What am I doin wrong. Also sometimes I get a 1010 error I think, any ideas?

oops I mean its <iostream.h>

That first error is because you put .f instead of .h.

To fix the second one, look at your tutorial and see what it has after the word &quot;main&quot; that you're missing.

A third problem is the lack of a semicolon after &quot;return 0.&quot;


Finally, your tutorial is giving you old advice; use <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>. Everything should work the same (although you'll also need to put &quot;using namespace std;&quot; at the beginning of your programs).

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout <<&quot;sum text&quot;;
return 0
}
