I've worked with C for a few months now and am trying to experiment with C++. I wrote a very small and simple C++ program but am having trouble compiling it.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
cout << "Hello C++\n";
}

That's it. When I compile I use the command: g++ hello.cpp

I've basically copied the source code from a book just to try. The error when compiling is that 'cout' is not declared in the scope. The solution?

You need to include the standard files like this.

#include <iostream>
[COLOR="Red"]using namespace std;[/COLOR]

int main()
{
cout << "Hello C++\n";
}

if you don't put that in you will need to right your setecnece like this std::cout << "Hello C++\n" << std::endl;
Hope I helped.:)
