Is it possible to code in regular C++?

Is it possible to code in regular C++?

  That's what i've been trying, but when i use cout, and cin, and stuff like that, it doesn't work. I'm used to the C++ used in Codewarrior

  You'll find in well formed C++ libraries that a lot of the classes are in namespaces, think of it as an area. cout and cin are part of STL so to access them you have to be able to get to that area using "std". There's a few ways you can do this:

  //Declare the whole namespace after the include files like

  #include <iostream>

  using namespace std;

  void func()

  {

  cout << "Output something" << endl;

  }

  //Access them directly in the code

  void func()

  {

  std::cout << "Output something" << std::endl;

  }

  //or you can declare that you'll be using certain things in your code

  void func()

  {

  using std::cout;

  using std::endl;

  cout << "Output something" << endl;

  }

  The "::" is called the scope resolution operator, basically all the namespace stuff is there to help with name clashes. You'll find that out when your projects get bigger and you start running out of names to use.

  Yes, use the Console Application project

  I'm not sure about code worrior, in VC the std headers no longer use the ".h" for their include files.

  Use MinGW (minimalistic GNU for Windows). It's a gcc compiler which contains all the posix stuff as well as native windows API gear. It's free and it's good and you don't have to suffer a bloated GUI and you even get to automate things properly with make files. You can grab a copy at http://mingw.org/
