Learning to use Microsoft Visual C++

[Ion Zone]

OK. You're getting a bit ahead of yourself.

I know it does seem like that but that is really just me experimenting with code - there's nothing else in that file except a quoted out maths program. I haven't gotten up to classes yet, so I haven't experimented with them. Mainly I plan things by doing stuff like that. It generally lets me work out problems before I have loads of them to fix. I'll do that loads of times with loads of different bits of code.

SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FOREGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_RED);

Tried using this (with added 'foreground intensity') but I don't think it's the same colour, does this mean I can set the intensity?

#include "stdafx.h"

Tried to run your code but it couldn't find this library. (Compiler is Microsoft V 2008.) Is it something I have to download? Thanks for all your help though!
