Can I do Math?

Hello All C++ People:

I have IH's book "Beginning Visual C++ 2010 and downloaded the "Free Visual Studio 2010 C++ Express" edition described in his book as not sufficient on pg xxxvii (Introduction). Seems like even the simplest math will not run. Anyone have any success with a math function using the Free edition?

Can you post the code which you are trying to run?
If you are talking about the funtionality available in System::Math then it depends what type of project you have created. If you are using a Win32 Console Application then this is native C++ but if you are using a CLR Console application you just need to make sure that

Code:

using namespace System;

is at the top of your file, which should be there automatically in a CLR console application.
