Ok well I decided to learn C++, and after doing a "Hello World" Basic run-through (and an attempt at a fahreneit to Celsius converter). I have failed miserably.
The converter didn't work because of some errors, I'm not sure where, i copied it straight off the book i bought.
The hello world didn't work because the program won't run. I compiled it and found the .exe and double clicked it but all that pops up is a command prompt for a second and then it disappears with ntohing else.
I am using Dev-C++
Does anyone know what's wrong?

The hellow world one sounds like it's worked.
Try opening a command prompt, then running the hello world program from there.
C++ examples can often (even though they shouldn't) be compiler specific.
Try searching the net for Dev-C++ Tutorials\examples.
From another C++ learner, I hope that helps,

C++ is not compiler specific. 
However, tswsl1989 is correct that the program probably ran fine. If the command window opened and closed, then it worked. It only takes about a tenth of a second to run a "hello world" program. As was stated, drop to a command line prompt, and execute your code from there.

Ok thank you for your replies, and I have found my problem after digging through various codes from tutorials. Thank you once again
Also, when learning I realised (I'm english.. I'm not spelling wrong 
) that before returning, if you type System("pause"); then it would halt the program so you could actually see what was happening =]

If it's not too late I would like to add that entering:
char response;
std::cin >> response;
before return 0; would let you see the results of your program by closing the program only when a random character is pressed followed by the enter key upon completion of said program.

std::cin >> response;

Careful! Dont want buffer overruns, now do we?
