include iostream error

I have an error, when i try to compile things in the C++ epress edition, i get an error message that says "

: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory"

i have tried ... <iostream>    <iostream.h> and some real crazy things but nothing works. What do i need to do




Answer this question

include iostream error

  • Ciprian Gerea MSFT

    From version 7 onwards I think, they removed iostream.h. But the iostream STL header is still there. So #include <iostream> is what you have to do, but there is something slightly more you need to do.

    It is in a different namespace from normal, so you also need using namespace std; in your code.

    Here is some info on the iostream library.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclang98/html/IOSTREAM.asp

    Here is the information on the STL itself.

    It still seems not work if i use <iostream>

    If i use

    #include <iostream>;

    using namespace std;

    now file found(maybe) , but there seems some syntax error

    here is some of the results:
