I am trying to build a Hello World program in C++. I am using the c++ or
g++ complier in cygwin. My mangled code looks like this,
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World";
return;
}
It looks like my example but it isn't working.
the compiler for g++ tells me the following:
hellotest.cpp: In function `int main()':
hellotest.cpp:5: error: `cout' undeclared (first use this function)
hellotest.cpp:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in.)
hellotest.cpp:6: error: return-statement with no value, in function
returning 'int'
When I run it with an older complier Borland 4.5 it tells me that it can't
read the input file helloworld.rc.
What am I doing wrong? 24 1785

That is some sort of compiler dependent file. What am I doing wrong?

replace the above line with:
std::cout << "Hello World";
and your program will compile fine.
return;
Delete the above line entirely, or replace it with:
return 0;
}

Or just leave out the return - a main() with no return is assumed to
return EXIT_SUCCESS.

Since std::cout may very well be buffered it is actually prudent to
pass std::endl instead of '\n'. In this *particular* case, since the
program exits immediately following the operation it is "unneccisary"
but it is a GOOD habit to get into since in anything more complex than
a hello world program is going to do more and you should flush your
outputs when you want them to be sent.

IMO a 'good' habit would be something that is
always 'good' in general (e.g. use consistent
indentation style). But imo 'proper' use of
'endl' depends much upon context. Because of
what it does, using it needlessly can unnecessarily
degrade performance. (i/o is typically the slowest
part of a system -- that's why buffering was invented).
to get into since in anything more complex than a hello world program is going to do more and you should flush your outputs when you want them to be sent.
But it's often the case that 'visible' output is not needed
at every occurence of '\n'.
So, to each his own. I'll answer questions the way I see fit and people can learn, or not, what they want.
And others will insert their opinions as they see fit. :-)
FWIW I've still never had the need to use 'endl' with
output streams.

Really? I haven't seen any indication of that. If someone
responds to your post with e.g. "don't say that", that simply
means they disagree, not that they're demanding you ask permission
to say it. (Civilly expressed) disagreements often lead to
useful discussion. Discussion sheds light on both sides of an
issue, and allows observers to draw their own conclusions.
I think that is especially useful for the novice.

Hi
try this instead, you missed out the name space declaration
//hello.cpp

compiles fine under watcom 1.4 under OS/2 4.52

Can you cite any reference for that? An online source or a book? I'd be

I thought he had it online, because he originally recommended not doing
it (just like he originally recommended using deque rather than vector
as the default container) then changed his mind.

Thanks for digging that out.
I'm actually a little surprised at some of his original recommendations
(the one's where he's now changed his mind). I don't think I'd bother
with using declarations in toy programs. And if I was migrating a code
base with the help of using directives, I'm not sure I'd necessarily
bother replacing them with appropriate using declarations at the end of
the process.
His advice seems to boil down to "Use the tools the language provides
you to make your life easier". Makes sense to me, as long as you
understand the risks inherent in those tools as well.

That is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with C++. Certainly the
standard neither states, nor implies, anything about light bulbs. You
should ask your question in a group specific to your specific lighting
management system.

You'll find his usage of "using namespace std;" all through his
