Words not colored when I type.

When I type out my words like #include they arnt turning blue that just stay black.

This solution is about as accurate as the question.

That's a problem of your text editor. It either doesn't support syntax highlighting at all, or requires you to choose some option.

I suppose it didn't occur to you that it might be relevant to mention which text editor or IDE you're using?

[BanterTrix]

No I didnt, considering I just started using visual c++ on monday. My teacher thought it was a good idea to cram 2 and half chapters into 2 hours. And assume that we knew everything.

[hanst99]

So, you're talking about visual C++? Well, that's a step forward. Check that your files either have the ending .h (for headers) or .cpp, .cxx or .cc (for source files).

[BanterTrix]

Yea we are using source and I use .cpp but when it adds it looks like its changing to a document.

[BanterTrix]

Ok nvm I got it working.
