why wont it work

[Geo Popos]

heres my code it works in dev c++ but not visual c++

#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main*()
{
    cout << "Hellow World" << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return(0);
    }

if you are using visual c++ then run using ctrl+F5, no need to use system command

What is that * doing on line 5???

And as johny says avoid using the system command.

And you haven't actually said how it doesn't work, compiles and wont run or wont compile?
