How would I manage to get the C++ program and were would I get it from

Just an hint: nobody is going to understand your question if you don''t clarify it.

Here is the c++ program you requested:

int main(void)
{
return 0;
}

Enjoy.

do u mean compiler ??? .. sounds like you want a compiler ...

Ummm. First, C++ is not a program, it's a language. You use the C++ langauge in addition to some other tools to make programs. Second, I'm assuming you want/need a compiler, which is a tool to convert your code into machine langauge (binary). There are several compilers out there. You didn't specify an OS, but...
Windows:
Microsoft Visual C++
Borland Compiler Turbo?
DGJPP <-- Free
DevC ?

Linux <- There are some compilers that come with the OS
Maybe someone could list some. I've had very little experience with Linux (non-programming)

Mac OS:
Apple bundles a compiler with their OS called Project Builder
and Also a compiler called CodeWarrior from another company.

Third you probably want a book. I can't recommend what the best C++ programming book is, because I don't have any that would qualify. Well there is one, but it's more of a reference.

I have:
Learn C++ in 24 Hours <-- DO NOT BELIEVE THE TITLE
C++ for Dummies <--- DO NOT TAKE THE TITLE SERIOUSLY
C++ The Complete Reference 3rd Edition <-- A book for people with C++ experience

Theres a college C++ book from Deitel and Deitel. Can't remember the name though. It's pretty good.


I don't have a signature

I think this is better though:

int main()
{
}

Why because it won''t compile?

But we might aswell help him out with standard C++ if we''re going to give him examples.

Main does NOT take void as an argument and it doesn''t HAVE to return anything.

Cheers.

if you declare

int main()
{
}

it HAS to return an int, because you are saying it will!!!

int <-return type main <-Function name ()<- Parameters



void main()
{
}

is correct though, because you are saying we are returning nothing!

Hello,

This could lead to one of the most interesting discussions in a long time. Who want:
int main()
{
return 0;
}

who wants:
int main()
{
}

and who wants:
void main()
{
}
