compile problems...

[nnyexoeight000]

I downloaded devC++ free compiler.

Copied the code from Tutorial 7 in this forum.

Compiled and Ran.

but it failed, lots of errors.

...great. What went wrong?

Well, if you could tell us what the errors were, maybe then we could give you a hand, otherwise its like looking for a fly on an elephants ass (no offence man)
Cheers ;)

Well, ok... I thought you would have an answere that had to do with me missing a .h file or something.

The example code was extremely simple and part of a tutorial, so i figured it would work right off the bat.

Here are the problems I got:
test01.cpp:9: `array' undeclared
(first use this function)
test01.cpp:9: (Each undeclared
identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
test01.cpp:12: `cout' undeclared
(first use this function)

Execution terminated

here is the code from the tutorial:

#include iostream.h

int main ()
{
int an_int = 3;
int* a_pointer = &an_int;
int an_array[3];

array[0] = 1; //Ok so we have zero offset so this is the first element
array[1] = 2; //one offset this is the second element
array[2] = 3; //finally we have two offsets or the third elment
cout << array[0]; //here we are accessing the first element again
cout << "\n"; //hey look a string!
cout << array[1]; //here we access the second element
cout << "\n";
cout << array[2]; //and the third
cout << "\n";
cout << a_pointer[0]; //and here we use the array operator on GASP a pointer!

return 0;
}


And im using Dev C++ tutorial from www.bloodshed.com I believe.

help me make this work... please...
thx.

you gotta change 'array' to 'an_array' since the array variable never gets declared and your either missing a library or an include for the cout thing, thats a basic C function which I dunno what the include is by heart. Look it up, should take about 30 seconds to find

[Grif]

Yeah, the MadMech is right about the array. The easiest way to fix this would be to change int an_array[3]; to int array[3]; since everywhere else you use array. And second, #include <iostream.h> you are missing <>.
And i suggest you use
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

iostream.h is an old header and have been deprecated.
The rest seems to look Ok.

those problems should be addressed in the tutorials... oh well... too late now, thanks for your help tho.
