#include <iostream> NO such File or Directory

<< < (7/11) > >>

monsto:
anything. i started by trying to make it something relevant to what i was doing (lesson, learn1, learncpp, etc) but eventually i gave up and settled for the suggested Untitled12

Jenna:
The ending has to be cpp or cxx, to make the compiler detect it as c++-file.

monsto:
great. thanks.

1) in the scenario above, how would that be accomplished? do i need to choose a different new file type or just rename the file?

2) how would a person new to c++ find how to have the ide run as what tutorials expect to be default behaviour?

Jenna:
You can rename it, but you might have to close and reopen the project.

If you are new to c++, you should buy you a good book or find a good online-tutorial or forum.

This forum is not dedicated to teaching beginners how to program or how to use a compiler.

Without basic knowledge you will have problems with almost every IDE.

monsto:
i have done that.

the tutorials on learncpp.com nor the examples in sams "c++ in 24hrs" had expectation issues with the other couple of ide's i tried after encountering this... Dev-C++ for example.

it's not my lack of c++ knowledge that is at issue, it's the expected default behaiviour of codeblocks. It is unexpected that i'd need to rename a file during the "open new file" process.
