Yep, it's just <iostream> And for cout, you have two choices: put using namespace std; just before main() Or use std::cout, std::cin (you should look up namespaces so you have an idea what they are). Something tells me also you are using very outdated materials online. Dev-C++ is a fairly standards compliant compiler (using MinGW underneath, which is one of the flavors of the GNU C & C++ compiler family), so it's doing the right thing. You should ditch your online class and use one of the many references listed under http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/c-prog/links/Books_000986587838/ -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
