The code is similar, don't worry. Everything will still function, except 
the Dev-C++ code is more recent than the book. Now, instead of 
<iostream.h>, we have <iostream>, and because <stdlib.h> was in the C 
language, it becomes <cstdlib>. You will learn more on that later. With 
the new header files, you must include using namespace std; in your 
code, and this will also be explained later. EXIT_SUCCESS is 0, so they 
both mean the same thing. Its nothing to worry about, just keep going 
and use the dev-c++ base code instead of the books, and if it bothers 
you or confuses you, try to find a more recent book.
