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, -------------------- Tom

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 =]Dan |

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. This post has been edited by Deemo Diablo: Mar 23 2008, 05:41 AM |
