Can't Get "Hello world" to run

[helios]

The classical extension for C++ sources is .cpp, but others, .C included, are recognized.

helios is right

but you cannot include iostream header in a .c file i suppose

better use .cpp extension

i think thats why the compiler didnt include iostream in your(igneousquill) program

[helios]

Not in a .c, but you can in a .C.

The extension doesn't really matter, actually. It's only a help for the compiler so that it knows how to compile what. If you pass a .c to g++, it will compile it as a .cpp all the same.

thats why i cudnt cross check
