[Dev-C++] Re: Hi,my first problem

[Jonathan D. <gri...@ho...>]

Hi Yakir,

Per was saying that you can use any text editor such as Notepad to write the 
code for your program.  This might be easier for you since Dev-C++ has a lot 
going on in it's interface.  I wanted to try to help you with what you 
posted, though.

Just as Per said, you have some code left in your source file that Dev-C++ 
put in there automatically for some reason.  If you're following the book 
that you have, you wont want to start like this.  Instead, when you make a 
new project, delete everything in it that Dev-C++ automatically puts in.  
Then start writing your code.  Here's my version of what you should be 
trying to do with your source:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!\n";
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

//end of program

If you make a project with a source file (.cpp) that has only this written 
in it, then compile and run it, this will create a .exe file that displays:

Hello World!
Press any key to continue...

Keep emailing if you have any more questions, Yakir.  If you can get this to 
work with Dev-C++, then we can know better how to help you.
