No such file or directory error

(1/1)

Hello...I am a brand new user of c++ (and programming in general).  I hope someone will take the time to help me with this noob problem...

I started trying to compile my first program, and I immediately got an error with the first line.  It reads, "error: cstdio: No such file or directory".

How do I get the compiler to know where "cstdio" is?

Sorry if this is very basic.  Thanks!

zabzonk:
cstdio is a C++ header. Are you perhaps compiling the file that #includes it as a C file? You need to give its name the extension .cpp, not .c (i.e. if it is cirrently called something like main.c it should be called main.cpp)

Turning on Full Compiler Logging helps solving issues like this.

Thanks.  It was, in fact, an issue with the type of file I was saving it as.  Saving it as .cpp fixed it.  Thanks!
