Console app not compiling 2

[SQL2KDBA69]

here is my code

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{

cout << "Hello World";
return 0;

}


I cant get the cout command to work. I using VS 2005 Pro edition.

i tried it like this :
#include <stdafx.h>

int main()
{

cout << "Hello World";
return 0;

}

and i get cout is undefined.

Well probably because your compiler supports the new C++ standard.

#include <iostream>  // note - there is no .h
using namespace std; // this is new
int main ( ) {
  cout << "hello world" << endl;  // one way
  std::cout << "hello world" << endl;  // another way
  return 0;
}

tried that and it ask if i forgot to put #include "stdafx.h" in my code.

also saying "unexpected end of file while looking for precompile header.

Go into the Project settings and choose not to use Precompiled headers. They're more trouble than they're worth.
Otherwise, create an empty stdafx.h file (you don't need anything in it), then include it before any other #include statements.

 

[SQL2KDBA69]

did that and it say :

cout is an undefined indentifier

 

[cpjust]

You need to also put

using namespace std;

after your #include lines.

 

[SQL2KDBA69]

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}


tried that and i get :

'std' a namespace with this name does not exist.

The following should work fine if you open an EMPTY project, then add this as a CPP file.

#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

cout << "Hello World";
return 0;

}

Tried that and here is the errors :

Error 1 error C2871: 'std' : a namespace with this name does not exist
Error 2 error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier


I create an empty project and created a cpp file and a header file then tried to compile it and got those error.

and just a reminder im using Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Editon with .Net 2.0

My error. Should be without the .h. The old style header files used the .h extension. You shouldn't need a header file for this simple of a project.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

cout << "Hello World";
return 0;

}
