Thread: Cant Find Iostream.h

Ok i got visual C++ but when i build hello world it wont work cause i need the header for iostream and i searched my whole pc but no luck.. can someone upload it

file is called "iostream.h"

error:

Code:

c:\documents and settings\admin\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\hello world\hello.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory

Can someone tell me where to put the header in my pc too

im new to c++ stuff just learning it now

Koders Code Search: iostream.h - C

vs/include/

Yeah.. Did you put #include "iostream.h"? Or <>

i added this

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}

oh i see the problem

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

and i had to use namespace

tho the program dont stay up when i click it.. the cmd comes up but it goes after 0.5 seconds

Because you end execution of the program by returning.

Use system("PAUSE"); to get it to stay... Hacky workaround, you could always open your executable from an already open cmd.

    using namespace std;
   
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
       cout << "Hello World !!!" << endl; // endl equivale ad un \n
       system("PAUSE");
        return 0;

    }

something is wrong, i put the pause after the return bit but still closes on me, i know it says hello world!!! cause i can see it flicker but it wont stay, k um im getting used to visual C++ more and more i use it

dont get angry, im just trying

Well yes if you put it after the return instruction then it won't work since your application's already ended..

Just start your app from an already open command prompt.

yeah it works via cmd like open cmd and type cd\ then helloworld then it works that way
