Hi, folks,
I have a question to pose to you all. First, though, a long-neglected
introduction. My name is Alex Midence and I am a trainer by
profession. I have recently taken up learning how to code as something
of a hobby in response to a rather unpleasant run-in with a slew of
inaccessible applications. I will trace the somewhat convoluted path
for you all some day. For now, though, suffice it to say that I have
chosen c++ as the language I wish to learn first. I've found all sorts
of nifty tutorials on line to get me started. HOwever, they all seem to
have one thing in common which leads to my question.
All of the tutorials I've come across including the one in msdn.com
teach you standard c++. I've downloaded two compilers and can't get the
simple programs I'm learning to write to compile in either one of them
even though I've checked and rechecked my syntax. The compilers are
visual studioo c++ express 2010 and Eclipse. Visual Studio 2010 keeps
giving me a "code out of date" message and, Eclipse just doesn't run the
app because maybe I have a mssing component or something. I can't
figure that one out and I've sort of given up on it for now so I can
concentrate on Visual c++ since it seems to be the compiler of choice
for many develpers out there. Here is my code. Could someone please
tell me what's wrong with it? Incidentally, Seamonkey, the e-mail
client I use keeps weeding out the braces, so, I wrote them out so
someone using speech would hear where they were. Of course, in the
editor, I use the real braces. It's a simple, hello, world-type program:
// Alex's first program.
#include <iostream>
Using Namespace std;
Int main();
{Left brace
cout << "Hello, World." endl;
cout << "This is a c++ program written by alex.";
return 0;
Right brace
Any help you can provide is welcome and greatly appreciated.}
Regards,
Alex
