simple program fails ???

[Chris]

Hi,

I try to compile the following with Visual Studio.NET

#include <iostream.h>
void main()
{
cout << "test";
}

but I get a compiler error : "Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No
such file or directory."

Then I try :

#include <iostream>
void main()
{
cout << "test";
}

but then I get error : "'cout' : undeclared identifier"

how do I fix this ?

thank you
Chris

Use :-

std::cout

or put :-

using namespace std ;

on top of your src code.

The proper ISO C++ code is:
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "test";
}
