Not really new to C++ but I haven't done it in A LONG time. The thing is when I compile and run it only pops up for a split second instead od actually saying hello. I'm using Dev-C++ from bloodshed, possibly not the best compiler but it's free and that's basically my budget. Well thanks, any help is appreciated.

you may need to add getch() to the code

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h> // getch()

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
printf ("\ndone ... press any key to exit\n");
getch();
return 0;
}

Actually this is my code right now, I'm playing with strings, I tried your way and it came up with an error in the code. I think I should put some kind of cin in their.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string yell = "A dragon is coming, take cover!!!";
int main(void)
{
cout<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl;

return 0;
}

this runs on dev-c++:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h> // getch()
using namespace std;
string yell = "A dragon is coming, take cover!!!";
int main(void)
{
cout<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl
<<yell.c_str() <<endl;
printf ("\ndone ... press any key to exit\n");
getch();


return 0;
}
