Say I wanted to make a program that says this:

Code:

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

How would I do that? I don't have a clue what to do, although I know what the program does. I'm also using Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition 2008 SP1.

But how? What kind of file/project would I open? Also, what would I put it in? A .h file or a .cpp file? I don't really know the difference between them.

Create an empty project. Right click a folder in the tree view (preferably 'Source Files'), add a new cpp file. Code whatever, compile, run.

Okay I'll try that. Thanks.

Uhh.. One more question, what kind of project would I use? There's a lot of ooptions, Class Library, CLR Empty Project, CLR Console Application, Windows Forms Application. There's more.. but I'm not sure xD

For now I'd recommend to stick to Win32 projects. You can tell what type of project you should select by look at the entry point. This uses main( ) should it should be a Win32 console project. (A regular Win32 project would have WinMain( )) Header files are usually inserted to make the project more organized like you'd put your definitions or even declarations. A cpp file essentially contains your source code. It would contain what you have above, the entry point, variables, functions, and so on.

Okay, should I use Win32 Console App, or just plain Win32 Project?

Thanks for your help.

Console app is what you should use for that type of code.
