Doing some very basic C++ practice. - MariettaRC - 2013-09-11
And I mean very basic because I'm taking an Object Oriented Programming class and it's currently kicking my ass because last time I had C++ was 3 years ago and they'd done an experimental thing by teaching us about Dark GDK instead of actual C++ so I'm horrible at it (and programming in general) and I don't want to hear any talk about that.
Anyway;
Code:
//Include the input/output stream
#include "stdafx.h" //Compiler needs this line, else it's gonna pomegranate everywhere but I have to take it out before submitting to UNIX.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Main program
//This program will simply display your name after it's been put in.
int main ()
{
//Declare variables
string name;
//Ask for name
cout << "What is your name? " << endl;
cin >> name;
//Display name
//cout << "Your name is " << name << ", is that correct?" << endl;
return 0;
}cin >> name; gives me this error;
"error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [2]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)"
Errors are so wordy. Is it a syntax issue?

Never mind, #include <string>

Oh, so that's a thing... all right, there we go. Thank you!

To get rid of the stdafx.h, create an empty project and not a windows console project.
Also, using namespace std is evil

Oh, that explains a lot. We don't even use any specific compiler, but I stuck to using Visual Studio 2008. Thanks. :B
Also, I gotta use namespace std anyway, otherwise I'll get points deducted off of whatever assignment I have to do.

std namespace is fine for a programming exercise. It's when you have a bigger project that you might have to maintain and use the same name in more than one place that it becomes bad.

Wow that's terrible.

I was also forced to use namespace std for Uni level courses as well. It's pretty freaking retarded. But we got to the point to where we can just use :
td now.
