Visual Studio Ultimate 2012, Hello World unsuccesfull

[newbyplusplus]

Hey guys I decided to learn C++ and I searched for tutorials around web and this side looks perfect. I am the definition of beginner :)

I used the instructions just like here="http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/introduction/visualstudio/"

I created a c++ item under source files named it main

I coded like this as it's instructed to the very beginner.

  #include <iostream>
int main()
{
  auto x = R"(Hello world!)";
  std::cout << x;
}

But my application didnt work and I got many errors.

Errors are like :
Error 1 error C2065: 'R' : undeclared identifier
Error 2 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'string'
Error 3 error C2593: 'operator <<' is ambiguous
4 IntelliSense: identifier "R" is undefined
5 IntelliSense: expected a ';'

How do I overcome this issue? It is not really motivating when it is about your first code :D
Do I have to make a configuration to Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 and if it is so how, or maybe it is something else please help me.

Thanks :)

I've never seen an "R" in front of a text string, only "L"

try
auto x = L"(Hello world!)";

don't know why that tutorial has an R in it.

What's with the R? you already named your identifier 'x', so what's up with the R? erase it, and it should work.

The sample code in the tutorial is wrong.

[nvrmnd]

it means a Raw string literal (c++11), & it's not supported in VS 2012

just remove that R and it should compile fine
