C++ help?
So i just started C++ and i got a book called C++ A Begginers guide second edition and it said to type in
/*
This is a simple C++ program.
Call this file sample.cpp.
*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// A C++ program begins at main ()
int main ()
{
cout << "C++ is power programming.";
return 0;
}
In my compiler so i put it in microsoft visual c++ 2008 express but it never told me what kind of project it was supposed to be and just told me to copy it in. I made my project a win32 console application and typed it in exactly but it couldn't compile it. So i read ahead of the book and it said to first name it sample.cpp which i already did and it said to first type it in wordpad so i did that to. after i did that it showed me a lot of command lines.
Could you people help me? i just started so sorry for being such a nooby.
Oh and i have to go so sorry i can't stay on this page for to long right now so if i dont reply to your answers or suggestions on my mistakes please forgive me. thanks!

The book didn't mention anything about the #include stdafx.h so i dont think im supposed to put that in
I read on to what to do if i needed help and it said to use the command line C:\...>cl -GX Sample.cpp
Any idea what that is?
Then what do you mean it's not compiling? If it didn't compile there must be some error...

The book is telling you to compile from Visual Studio's command line. CL.exe is the compiler it uses. -GX is like a parameter for CL. I recommend using a simpler IDE, such as Dev-C++..

Create a empty project
Right-Click on Source Files
Add New Item
Name it Sample.cpp
Add code
Profit
i honestly don't see what could go wrong

New project > Empty Project > Right click on the Folder "source" and create New .cpp file.
Well I guess creating an empty project works too. =o=
well, thaats how i learned it, and because i dont like creating projects with main.cpp already created with some random code

I think you should just use Dev-C++ until you've gained some experience using a basic IDE. Or you can be a man and use the command line to compile.
