Problem with example of a book

strashko (25)
Hello,
thanks in advance for any help.
I am reading Bjarne Stroustrup`s Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++.
System OS:Windows 7 RC 7100; Compiler - Visual Studio 2008 Team System

I am on the first example which is :
1
2
3
4
5
6

//This program outputs the message "Hello,World!" to the monitor

#include "std_lib_facilities.h"

int main() //C++ programs start by executing the function main
{
    cout << "Hello,World!\n"; //Output "Hello,World!"
    return 0;
}

I `ve installed the FLTK according to the apendix and I downloaded and put the std_lib_facilities.h into the include folder but the result in the compilation is this :
------ Build started: Project: test hello world, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Sorry for the capslocks!

I have never seen "stb_lib_facilities.h" before...try just including cmath and stuff yourself and see if you get the same errors.

The problem is that I am just starting to study C++ and I am not sure what you are talking about.
If someone has such problem or has heard something about it I would be very grateful /and I will be able to start studying C++/.

I got no idea of all this-that is in the header, that`s why I don`t try to change it any way.

I've never seen code like this before for someone 'just starting to study C++" :\
firedraco (6243)
Um, don't use that header...it seems like mostly BS..."ranged checked string"??? The ****, that is was .at() is FOR!! [] is SPECIFICALLY made to NOT do a range check.
wmheric (119)
I'm showing my concern about #including things absolutely unnecessary to your program - you used nothing except std::cout from <iostream>.
areyoupp (98)
i think you use namespace std;
strashko (25)
As far as I know this header was created so I will not need to include any headers of myself/will be included by themselvs/ so i will not bother with them until i learn whats going on.The problem is that in the begining of the book he is using only this header and nothing else.
And because I don`t know what to put instead - I am f*cked up!
guestgulkan (2942)
That header was made specifically I think for use with the book examples.
strashko (25)
That`s right , and because its Bjarne Stroustrup and he says he checked his code on most OS - so i believe I can run it in Windows 7./At least I hope/
mspy2plus (28)
Bjarne's header does not seem very helpful... try this instead
