Ok this is really weird: When I try to make programs, I'm noticing that the programs I'm using aren't recognizing my syntax and have a different syntax that what I learned was standard. I've tried this is both Microsoft Visual C++ and Dev C++ with the same result. First of all, things only work if I have
CODE
#include <iostream.h>
although I learned that it's supposed to be
CODE
#include <iostream>
. There are other things that are wierd like this. Another odd thing is that it doesn't appear to recognize the
CODE
newl
command. I've been having tons of trouble with stuff and whenever people help me it still has errors, now I realize that's because of the program not me or you guys messing up. So does anybody have any idea wtf is up?

That's because it's not newl but endl
Another way to create a new line is with '\n'
It's used like so:
cpp
cout << "Hello world!\n\n" << endl;

So, the above code will create 3 new line characters.

Hope this helps smile.gif

Visual C++ 6.0 supports the #include <iostream> directive, and it works on my computer.
