[Dev-C++] Newbie needs help with header

[Curt J. <cj...@co...>]

I am new to the list and also programming c++.

I am working through Ivor Horton's book "Beginning c++", and in one program
I need to use the header #include <limits>  to access the command
numeric_limits<unsigned char>::max(). Dev c++4 says it is an unknown file or
header. Is there an equivalent header in Dev C++4?

Thanks

Typically it should run. Wait for the next version of the compiler (GCC)
included with Dev-C++. Since the official standard of C++ was defined in
1998, and C++ demands many things from tthe compilers, almost no compiler is
100% compatible (with the standard, but things will be improving as the time
passes. Especially with templates there is a lot of work  to be done.
 In compare with other compilers out there, GCC is one of the most
conforming ones, more conforming than Visual C++. The only 100% conforming
compiler i know is Borland's C++ 5.5 compiler which you can download for
free from its site and use it from the commmand line.
