Hey Guys,

Googled the error and it apparently has to do with the location of your source files (.cpp/.c) try moving them to the correct folder if they aren't there already.

Thanks Alot Wic.
1 More Thing, In VC++ TuT ive been "Watching" ( Vid TuT ) And the main code is

void main() isn't standard and is bad practice in my opinion.
void just means no return.

use int main() and return a value.

using namespace std; just allows you to directly access that namespace without having to put "std::" before the functions within that namespace like cout, cin, etc.

Thanks Lurc,
Do any of you know a GOOD C++ Vid TuT if not a REALLY good C++ beginner TuT or something close to really good
~ Thanks, MuSSii

Firstly, I would suggest you ditch DevC++, it's crap. Just get the express edition of Visual Studio, it's free. It has limitations to what you can do, but if you are using it to just learn the basics atm, then you will be fine. Get the full version if you want. (Not giving links and such, warez aren't allowed.)

void main() does not follow standards, but, in most cases will work with most compilers. int main() is the standard though.

using namespace std; just incase the full STD namespace, which in my opinion, is also bad practice to include something like that if you don't plan to use more then the basics inside it. In most code that includes the namespace, the only parts used is cin and cout, which to be honest is a waste to include the full thing just for those.

If you want to use the functions without including the namespace, just add std:: infront of your functions, like this:

Thanks Wiccaan, But that TuT you just posted is what you just went against on Shocked

it uses the example 'using namespace std;' but il be sure to take that out and add std:: in my programs if i get pro enough to get up to that stage, another question, do i put std:: infront of cin or just cout

Anything from the namespace "std" you'll need to add std:: before it.

cout, cin, string, are all examples
type std:: and if your using MSVC++ or MSVS 2008 and it has intellisense it will pop up a list of functions within the namespace.

Also one more question lmao,
What compiler should i use?
Dev-cpp is shit
Visual - wont let me build
Borland - wont install

If you got the Express edition of Visual Studio you need to make sure you have the Platform SDK installed as well.
