c++ help needed

[akshaycjoshi]

Well in bloodshed c++ i am able to run the following program :
Code:
#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "Press any key to continue." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}


I am using the .h extension which don't support namespaces and still
able to run it .
what the hell ?

Also Code:
#include <iostream.h>
#include<string.h //how can i use that ?
using namespace std; //with this ?

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "Press any key to continue." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

should be <iostreambut I guess bloodshed has this old one kicking aroiund
that may be pre-standard, not sure.

#include<string.h //how can i use that ?

This is the old C header for c-style strings. strcpy, strcmp, etc...
<cstringis the std namespace version of it.
<stringis the one for std::string.

Try to actually create a std::string in your program and you should get an
error becuase std::string is not defined.

using namespace std; //with this ?

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "Press any key to continue." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

Not 'bloodshed' (Dev-C++ IDE), it's GCC(MinGW):

<root>\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.3.1\backward\iostream.h.

Seems like that should never have been there after the 2.95 series, IMHO.

[ note to self: upgrade that poor old (3.3.1) puppie!! <G]

If you have the latest from Bloodshed, just use <iostream>, like Jim said.
Dev-C++ IDE: http://www.bloodshed.net/

If you want to check for newer compiler version:
MinGW (GNU compiler): http://www.mingw.org/
