I created the file hello.cpp, I ran it WITH the stlports thing,
and then the confirm message i got was:
link hello,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
so I assumed that meant that it compiled properly since I didnt
get any FATAL ERRORS. So then I ran hello.exe and all that
happened was that the command prompt flashed. like when you
execute a program that doesnt do anything. my code was:


#include <iostream>

int main
{
cout << "hello world/n";
}



Was there something wrong with the code or did it not compile right or what? from what I know about C++(which is very little since I just started today) there should be nothing wrong.

never mind, I should have known, sorry for the inconvenience, but for all future users, you have to run it from the command prompt. I should have remembered this

You could also add:

cin.get();

at the end (just before }), to make et wait for you to hit <Enter>

Notice it is \n not /n
