How do you start writing a program with cplusplus.

[Skillless]

Download an IDE, like Code::Blocks, or something else

Then start doing the tutorial http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/introduction/

What if i use dev GNU pascal. Does it work with cplusplus.

[Skillless]

From their website i read that its a pascal compiler, not a c++ compiler

[Gwamaka]

Hi skilles? I have now downloaded code blocks v8.02. And i hav tried running the hello world program and won't run.

[LB]

"and won't run" is not a problem statement. That is the result of the problem.

What does "won't run" mean? Does it even compile?

[Gwamaka]

Ok LB! I have used the wrong statement thea. I doesnt even compile.

[LB]

OK, What errors does the compiler give you?

[Gwamaka]

Let me, PM you how i dealt with the whole procedure! Step by step.
