i am using straustropps book to teach myself how to code C++ in visual express

the code above is the exact code i've used, along with saving the header file on his site into the same project i am working on

http://pastebin.com/CLHwd9gd

here is the error code i am getting, do not understand what is going on, any help would be much appreciated!!

[GCDEF]

I don't know what the << thing is that you're using for your cout statements, but it needs to be two of the arrows above the comma key.

thanks, corrected that but it's still not working, the error:

http://pastebin.com/LBLXFCE7

is displayed

[GCDEF]

Using this as the header file, http://www.stroustrup.com/Programmin...b_facilities.h, it compiled and linked clean for me with the change I mentioned.

i am not quite sure how to put a header into a project in visual express or if i'm doing it right, thanks a lot for all your help, you're an absolute lifesaver mate,

i know i'm thinking about this in the wrong way, but if anyone reading this could help, i'd appreciate being told how to put the text from the link GCDEF gave into header in a form an idiot could understand haha

[GCDEF]

open the link, select all, copy.

In Visual Studio, File, new, file, Visual C++, Header File. Paste. Save as std_lib_facilities.h, or you could just paste the code right into your .cpp file too.

thank you very much my friend, will try when i get back from the gym, thanks a lot!

[fredlad]

afraid it's still not working

thanks so much for your help so far, if any other suggestions are becoming from anyone would be much appreciated

Post your exact code again then, because there's nothing wrong with the header file I linked to and other than the <<, there's nothing wrong with your code.

It's probably best just to post it in here with code tags rather than setting up a link to some external site.
