How to amend this code?

[Rex Chou]

It is very simple, but the G++ compiler say it's wrong. I don't know
why.

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << pow(2,3) << endl;
return 0;
}

The G++ display: call of overloaded 'pow(int, int)' is ambiguous.

Thank you!

Please post complete error messages so we don't have to guess.

Happily in this case it's simple, but please post complete error
messages so we don't have to guess.

Simply change 2 to 2.0, thus ambiguating the call, and please post
complete error messages so we don't have to guess.

Hth.,

It actually says:

test.cpp: In function 'int main()':

Just choose on of the appropriate functions ant tell the compiler by
casting or typing appropriate dot.zero's ('.0') which function to choose.

Don't post here at all if you don't know what you are talking about.
You are completely wrong.
