[SOLVED] Dev-C++ compile errors

Dev-C++ compile errors

I want to use "Dev-C++" for compile c++ codes. So I download and install it, and write this code:

#include <iostream.h>

main () {
     cout << "124";
}

but when I compiled it, it said:

In file included from E:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward/iostream.h:31, from [myfile path]\Untitled1.cpp:1: E:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/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 header for the header for C++ includes, or instead of the deprecated header . To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

After I saw errors, I change my code to this code:

#include <iostream>

main () {
     cout << "124";
}

but it said again that errors.

I compile first code easily in Turbo C++, BUT in Dev-C++ ...

What can I do?

Solution

First, make sure you write out the full definition of main, including the int return type. Leaving out the return type is an old, antiquated practice which doesn't fly these days.

Second, in the new-style headers—the ones missing the .h extension—the standard library is under the std namespace. There are two ways to make your program work:

1. Add an std:: qualifier to cout.

#include <iostream>

int main () {
    std::cout << "124";
}

2. Add a using declaration to allow unqualified references to the std namespace.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main () {
    cout << "124";
}
