VC++ is alien code

[Marc Colome]

Why a standard hello world:

#include<iostream>

int main(){

cout << "HELLO" << endl;

system("pause")
return (0);

}

can't work on visual c++ 2010 express?

this works also:

  #include <iostream>

int main(){
	std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
	std::cin.get();
	return 0;
}

what are you on about? that first untagged code doesn't even compile?
and use a more sensible thread topic.

[Dy7SLyTq]

of course the non [code ] wont compile. it needs using namespace std

[Lowest0ne]

Don't pause programs at the end, run them from the command line.

The top code doesn't compile because cout and endl are in the std namespace ( note "std::" in the second code).

[Dy7SLyTq]

its ok to pause at the end. it wont make a difference

[3qX21hU5]

It does when you use system calls. But generally you should run them from the command line like Lowest said or at least get a IDE that has a option to keep the console open after the program finishes.

[Dy7SLyTq]

ok yes you shouldnt use system but i was talking about c++ code not exes to do it (i know; i should have specified)

[Marc Colome]

using namespace std;


then it works.
