Question

I’m a novice on C++, and I failed to run my first C++ program, the code is

     #include <iostream.h>
　　　void main() 
　　　{
　　　　　cout>>"Hello world!">>endl；
　　　}

but it failed to print "Hello world!" on the console, I’m confused on this issue for hours, and there seems not wrong with the configuration, I’m using Visual C++ 2010 Express and it’s the basic console project format, can anyone help me?

Answer 1

You have your direction wrong.

cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

Think of << as pushing data into cout, i.e. the output.

Inversely, you use >> with cin to push data into a variable, from input.
