First Program in VS 2012 failed -- help?

[chili2424]

Hi,

I've just picked up my first book in C++ and tried one of the beginning codes they sample in the book. I downloaded Visual Studios 2012 and created a new project, added new item, renamed to .c extension as it told me to do and began to write my first code. It gave me over 100 errors when I tried to debug and build and I'm not sure why.

//This program will give a list of my favorite foods
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "My favorite foods are:\n";
cout << "BBQ Ribs";
cout << "\nChinese Food\n";
cout << "Lemon Drops\n";
return 0;
}

That program cannot generate those errors. Please post what you actually have.

[alistjazz]

I'm sure it's just the way you have vs configured... Those are some ridic errors

[guestgulkan]

He probably needs to change the file extension back to .cpp instead of .c

(I have seen MSVC spit out those errors before - usually if you just create a project with all the default settings (precompiled headers, etc) and then change the file extension) - it confuses the system.

If the OP really wants the file extension of .c (and I can't think of a good reason why he would want the file extesnion of .c is this case ) - we may be able to fiddle with the project settings.

@guestgulkan

Yes, this fixed the problem thank you.

@alistjazz

You were right also, thank you
