[SOLVED] C++ with codeblocks in Windows 7

[donaldfarkas]

Ok so this is the code i wrote below

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int thisisanumber;

  cout<<"Please enter a number: ";
  cin>> thisisanumber;
  cin.ignore();
  cout<<"You entered: "<< thisisanumber <<"\n";
  cin.get();
}

it errors out by saying "error: iostream: No such file or directory

in function 'main':
error 'cout' undeclared

any ideas?

I'm curious why you're asking Windows 7 programming questions in a Linux forum. There are C++ programming forums for Windows that might be better suited to answer your questions.

It appears that you don't have the C++ compiler/development environment installed or set up correctly on your Windows machine. The C++ compiler you've installed should be able to find the C++ libraries it needs, like iostream, to compile your programs. Review the requirements for your environment and the install you performed (or didn't perform) and fix whatever's wrong.

i actualy figured it out it. i saved it as a C file instead of a cbp file if that makes sense
