Change count to cout

Also dont put a ; after int main() and add using std::cout; (you could also just add using namespace std; to add the entire namespace) Complete code should look like this #include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::endl; int main() { cout << "Hello World" << endl; return 0; } War sucks, but the sound is good and WE are the DJ's

Ignore Dark: 1. int main(); is the declaration (not the definition). Although I don't know why it was there, it's perfectly legal. 2. the std namespace is only used when using the standard iostream library; "using std::cout" is not necessary when using "#include <iostream.h>" BlueRaja.admin@gmail.com
