Need serious help!

[creamcheese007]

ok, I'm placed into a computer science course for freshman year and i'm completely lost on the first class.

For practice, I'm suppose to make the screen say Hello World but nothing showed.

I entered the following into visual studio 2005:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

Then I pressed F7 and it became a failure

Help?

Oh and I can't seem to be able to compile using ctrl+F7

If I remembered correctly, in Programming C. I know what you mean here, its hell for ya. I am not a pro at this dude, highly recommended to ask other Spcnet members with IT experience.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

In the sequence, you are missing an "N". It can't do the count sequence without an N.

BTW, if this stuff is not for ya; please change your major.

Did you try asking your teacher? If you're really not getting it then you should have a talk with your teacher.

[creamcheese007]

He was talking the whole day today. He didn't have a chance to test it out

Do you have his e-mail? Try emailing him. Or try any of the other classmates, maybe they're having the same problem.

If only that one dude who was good with computer stuff was still here. He might of had been able to help you. *Goes to check out Sparky's signature*

He wouldn't give us his email, he said it'll teach us to use the website for announcements. It's like first day i only know i person and he has chem instead

[mind_wander]

If you are in independent studies, then I recommended you to drop it first. Since, this is your weakness; focus on the general courses. Then, go on with the hard ones. I hope this help you; alot of independent studies people have the same situational problems like you.

Yea I found his email on the site

It's just that I never did programming before.

Who do talk to about dropping? The advisors?

Normally there's a form you fill out. But counselors/advisors are great help. Get a hold of one of them fast!

[LuNaR]

[creamcheese007]

lol Youtube is great!

I found out that I started out wrong. I was suppose to start a console app. I chose something else instead

Thanks for all the help guys

I haven't done c/c++ programming since my uni days but that looks like c++ to me. It looks right and should compile with gcc++.

no such thing as namespaces in C and you'd use printf instead of cout
also your headers should be something like
#include stdio.h

PS: it is cout as in console output not count.

I didn't sign up for my classes. They just gave it to me. I don't think we freshmans get to choose

for one thing, that syntex is for the C language. I don't know if VS2005 still supports those syntex or the newer C++ syntex.

Also if you want to use those syntex, don't use VS2005, get a Borland C compiler, it works.

PS: to mind_wanderer >>> the syntex is cout (meaning C_out), not Count. cout is the syntex for character/string output.

PSS: With visual studio 2005 using Visual C++ CLR Console Application, this is the syntex for a Hello World command line application:

// HelloWorld.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine("Hello World");
return 0;
}
