Whats wrong here?
Author
I dont know whats wrong with my first program. Its written in C++ and its my very first program but I cant seem to find out what the problem is. I put everything in exactly like it says.
//first program
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Hello, World!\n";
return0;
}
I also noticed most ppl usually somehow put that into a code box. How do I do that on these forums?
put in the line
using namespace std;
then look up about namespaces.
to do the code put it inbetween <source > < /source>
but replace '<' with brackets '['
IF that doesn't help, then tell us what the problem is. What errors etc..

Dude im sorry I dont mean to sound more new to this than I am but. What the heck does that mean? The second part I understand and I thank you for it. But the first part (which I assume is talking about my code)I have no clue whatsoever your talking about.
Well what errors are you getting?
Read the below and see if that helps.

OK i was messing around with it a little bit and i have gotten rid of some of the errors now I have.
int main(0)
{
cout << "Hello, World!\n";
return0;
}
int main(0)
{
cout << "Hello, World!\n";
return0;
}
the first error is the problem (i think)
return0 is unknown... but
is known by the compiler
you forget the space !!! ;-)

return 0you forget the space !!! ;-)
You forgot a space between "return" and "0".
Also, change
to
return0; // noreturn 0; // yesAlso, change
int main ()to
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
First, get yourself a better tutorial. Whatever you're working from is at least six years out of date, which is an eternity in IT.
Second, fix the problem which indicated to me that the above was the case ;)
"return0" doesn't mean anything to the compiler. "return" does, and "0" does. There needs to be a space in there.
You have gotten two versions of the main() function in your file somehow. Either version is correct (with no parameters, or with the int and char** parameters), but you can only have one.

#include <iostream> // Proper C++ headers have no filename extension.using namespace std; // These headers put their "stuff" (functions and global// variables) into the 'std' "namespace", which prevents them from conflicting// with any stuff you might make with the same name. We don't want to make// anything called "cout", so we can use this line to tell the compiler "if// something doesn't appear to be defined, look in the std namespace for it".int main(){cout << "Hello, World!\n";return 0;}Quote:Original post by Doom-Box
