2 basic C::B questions from a newbie

(1/2) > >>

temujin:
Dear Forum,

I´m a newbie just starting with C::B to learn C++, wondering about 2 things when compiling and running the standard console program ("Hello World").

#include <iostream>

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

1. Where is the code that says "press ENTER to continue" in the output, and how can I disable it? (...yes, I tried to search previous posts).

2. Why do I have to include <iostream> and not <iostream.h>? I thought  this was only possible when explicitly using the namespace in which the library residesin.

best regards
t.

1. is done by Code::Blocks, it has nothing to do with your program. If you run your program elsewhere, it will not appear.
2. This is the C++ standard for.... 5? 6? years now. There is no reason other than "this is how it is".

lubos:
you can disable it in project->properties->build target->pause when execution ends  :)

Thanks...How do I know which libraries need the .h extension and wich that don´t? E.g.  including windows I need <windows.h>

c++ standard headers are without .h
