Question

Im in a computer science 1 class and we are programing using C++. In class we use emacs on unix servers. We can also use visual studio if we want. If its going to be graded in emacs and run there by the professor what type of project should i pick in Visual studio for the best results.

every time i try to compile the code i get these errors

Warning 1   warning C4627: '#include <iostream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use   c:\Users\Sam\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Test 3\Test 3\Test 3.cpp 3   1   Test 3
Error   2   error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "StdAfx.h"' to your source?   c:\Users\Sam\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Test 3\Test 3\Test 3.cpp 16  1   Test 3

here is the code:

// Samuel LaManna

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<"Hello World!";
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<endl;
    return 0:
}

Answer 1

I strongly suggest you just use emacs and unix. Ubuntu Linux is free, emacs is free, and g++ is free (c++ compiler). It’s best to always use the same platform your professors are using. If you have to use Visual Studio for some reason, you can do a console application project, but you are going to have all kinds of trouble doing it that way. Just use emacs/unix.
