Re: [Dev-C++] First experience with Dev-C++

Sorry, Joshua, but your code is not correct. You should not declare
variables / storage space in the argument list of a function. What do you
intend to do with 1Mb of memory? You would not be able to access the
command-line arguments.
There's nothing wrong with printf - it is ANSI compatible. If being antique
means it's considered bad style, then I'm WELL out of style (50 this year!),
but I still consider myself to be useful.

Does no one use the console program template which comes with DEV C++ ?

Kev.

printf() function is a C antique, so its considered bad style so I used cout
which conforms to ANSI standard...See notes at bottem for further comments.
Let me know if you need more help.

// Try the code this way:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(char * argv = new char [1024], int argc)
{
      cout << "Hello Dev-C++";  //displays text in quotes... << directs the
string to cout

      delete [] argv;   //deletes array and pointer, so there is no memory
leak

      float wait = 0;
      while (wait < 1E9)     //see program notes
            wait++;

      return 0;
}
