Hell sluggers,
I've finally decided to pull my finger out and *try to* learn c++.
Stumbling blocks like these are a pain in the Arse, maybe someone can
enlighten me as to why this error occurs:
** program:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int x = 5;
int y = 7;
cout << x + y " " x * y;
cout << "\n";
return 0;
}
** error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c++]$ make xycout
g++ xycout.cpp -o xycout
In file included from /usr/include/c++/3.3.2/backward/iostream.h:31,
from xycout.cpp:1:
/usr/include/c++/3.3.2/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning
This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please
consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++
standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header
for C++ includes, or <sstream> instead of the deprecated header
<strstream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.
xycout.cpp: In function `int main()':
xycout.cpp:7: error: syntax error before string constant
xycout.cpp:12:1: warning: no newline at end of file
make: *** [xycout] Error 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c++]$
** I'm not worried about the antiquated header, The syntax is the issue. I've
tried all sorts of mods to the syntax and cannot get it to go away, the
program is a 'cut and paste' straight out of a text book, but it does not
work! (while student is programming; writeln f..k). I assume this is normal
practice, to publish inaccurate and unusable programs so some schmuck spends
hours sorting it out...
Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks in advance,
Nick Tomlin.
