Title: First program.
Post by: ikkesomye on January 11, 2011, 12:47:14 am

I am completely new to any programming language.  I am just sort of following this youtube video making your first C++ program and even though I have followed it step by step when I build and run nothing happens.

I'm sure you have all heard this question before I am just really lost.

This was the youtube video

The website I am learning from
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson1.html

thanks to those willing to help me out.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n";
  cin.get();

  return 0;
}

what is your question?? Did you search the forum firstly??
we discuss only Code::blocks related question here, if you would like to discuss some programming question, I suggest you can go to some forum dedicate to that issue.

Nothing happens.

what have you done before you click the button??
...
I don't want to see a whole tutorial to see what the step you take. ( the video takes 10 min)
I suggest you can just use the project wizard to create a simple console program, then test again.
