compiler always fails..

[zadiko]

im using Microsoft visuals express 2010.and no matter that i try i always get a unable to start program or errors in build..

honestly i just started today so anything would help...

----------------------------------------------------------

// operating with variables

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
// declaring variables:
int a, b;
int result;

// process:
a = 5;
b = 2;
a = a + 1;
result = a - b;

// print out the result:
cout << result;

// terminate the program:
return 0;
}

---------------------------------------------
said was was a success.. but unable to start..

I don't know about visual express, but I use visual studio and I need #include "stdafx.h" in order to make it run. Try putting that at the top and see if that helps.

No. NO. Never ever include stdax.h - it causes way more problems than it solves. If your project requires it you chose the most incorrect project type you could choose.

Your code is fine: http://ideone.com/2FDme

maybe microsoft likes #include "stdafx.h"...
i read the error report and it suggested it...

but i did the next section and it worked as written on the tutorial... :(
is there a better program then visual 2010?

Start with a fresh project but make sure you choose blank, empty, "don't use precompiled headers", etc. whenever you see the option to. Otherwise it will make you go through this trouble...
