Re: newbee question

It is std::cout, not std::count.

Neither it a prototype for main() required. Normal termination returns 0, not 1.

Re: newbee question

Put this at the top (below #include <iostream>)

CPP / C++ / C Code:
using namespace std;

EDIT: Oops, I just noticed that you said std::cout, so the above change won't make a difference. I tried compiling the code you posted and it works fine.

In practice, C++ is a compiled language -- which means that anyone using the language will need to create source code in a text file followed by compiling it with a compiler followed by linking all appropriate object files & necessary libraries with a linker into the resulting executable. If you are writing the code for an application, it must be compiled & linked. Other languages such as Python, Perl, & Ruby are interpreted which means that source code is converted into a form that the interpreter can then execute each time the script is executed.

My suggestion is to begin studying the help files found (most likely...) by pressing F1.

Re: newbee question

There are hundreds of good C++ books, why don't you start with C++ primer by stephen prata and follow up with scott meyers effective C++ :-)

I would suggest that you use eclipse CDT if you are in linux and VC++ 2008 if your are on windows. Step through code, take a look at assembly code.
Best of luck guys.

Re: Hello World not working

hey first of all, you have to insert ".h" when you including input output stream then, the main function does not need declaration when you want to us, so remove int main();
CPP / C++ / C Code:
#include<iostream.h>
int main( )
{
   cout<<"hello world";
   return 0;
