Umm, wouldn't your complier tell you the error?

Or is this a game and we're supposed to guess why?

You said it did not compile. How do you know that? Depending on the compiler, you will either get an error on the console, in a pop-up, or in a status window.

Did you look for these? What compiler are you using?

There is nothing wrong with it!
Sometimes a newline is required at the end of your program.
All i can suggest is for you to put in a new line at the end of the file, that is press return to add an extra line. if this does not work i dont know because all i did is copy and paste then added the new line and it worked perfect.

Hi,

Which compiler you are using? In gcc it works fine.

Thanks,
