Hello World Wont Work (((figure it out)))

[RMG112]

Ok i am trying to get the hello world script to exicute and it wont. it keeps telling me there are errors, see if you can find the problem:

// Include files
#include <stdio.h>

// Aplication Initialization
int main ()
{
printf (&quot;hello, World!\n&quot;
return 0;
}


this is what i got from a tutorial, i just dont understand why such a simple script wont work.

Let me answer your question with a question. Since the code snippet is syntactically and semantically correct, what errors would you expect??

I'm willing to bet that your include files are not correctly linked. Try changing this line:

#include <stdio.h>

to the actual path, and replace <> with &quot;&quot; eg...

#include &quot;C:\compiler\includes\stdio.h&quot;

Or better yet, read the help files that came with your compiler on how to link the includes, and libraries

Good luck, Rob

I am just trying to grasp programming skills and i have a freash mind

Did you make this a Win32 Console application? Can u copy/paste the exact error string you're getting?

THere it tis smy good folks

// Include files

}

oh my...I didn't mean that path literally, (eg. means example). c:\compiler\includes\ should be replaced with the directory of where your include files are. Also, the debugger wasn't found, you can do one of 2 things...Find out why the debugger isn't found, and fix it. Or compile without invokeing the debugger....type whatever you type to compile with a -h after it for help, that should show how to dissable the debugger.

What happens if you change ur #include statement to this?

#include &quot;stdio.h&quot;

If it's in quotes the compiler looks in the application path directory, then the windows system directory. #include <stdio.h> tells the compiler to look in the system directory only, and maybe it's not there on your machine. If you're still getting errors on the .sbr file, you might fix this by creating a new Win32 console app and copy/paste the code.

// Include files
#include &quot;stdio.h&quot;

// Aplication Initialization
int main ()
{
printf (&quot;hello, World!\n&quot;
return 0;

Heres the script

 

[MikeCox]

// Include files
#include &quot;stdio.h&quot;

// Aplication Initialization
int main ()
{
printf (&quot;hello, World!\n&quot;
return 0;

} // Added this!

Im writing it through the visual C++

 

[RMG112]

Your the man, it worked thank you for solving my problem

 

[rjr9999]

well, if that's the exact script, you're missing a } at the end...otherwise, it looks like whatever text editor you're useing is inserting unwanted characters in there...try useing the dos command &quot;edit&quot;, if you have no other alternative. Retype the entire program in there, and try again. Rob
