C++ Error

[caboose]

Hi, all

I have just recently started to program in C++, but there seems to be a continuous problem.

I have written the code exactly as the guide says, and it compiles fine, but it says that the execution is terminated.

Can anyone help me?

Could we see the code..

[caboose]

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

Just tried your code an it ran fine

compile line:

g++ filename.cpp -o filename

then executed with

./filename

I think you should use getch() or system("pause")
Try this
// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

Well, it should work, but you are missing an endl output manipulator so your "Hello World!" string will get output before you die. Ie,

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (void) {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Also note the (void) argument list for main(). This is necessary for many current ANSI-compliant C++ compilers.

BTW, we are not supposed to help you with school work. If this is just self-learning, then it's ok, but do respect the terms of use for the forums.

BTW, the std::endl manipulator also inserts a newline in the stream.

Thanks for the help, and BTW, I finished school last year, so it's not school work

I thought something like that might be the case, which is why I didn't bring up the schoolwork thing until after I responded to your question. Now, did that help fix your problem?
