Using iostream in VS 2010

[Bolong Yu]

How do I using #include <iostream> in Visual Studios 2010? I used to know since I had to use the 2010 version in High School. But that was 3 years ago and I had been using 2013 version.

What problem are you having?

In the same way you do with VS2013

[Bolong Yu]

Is there something I have to type before the #include statements? Because I am getting errors.

Please show us the errors and possibly the code.

When you create the project, don't use any of the templates - choose Blank.
