In all my programs start to appear this message. What's happennig?


 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

Check the following option in msvc++ 6.0, perhaps it will work.

Go to Tool menu and select Option. A dialog will appear. In this dialog, select Directories tab and set path of "Include files" to where <iostream.h> is placed on your system.

visual c++ is very sensitive & a lot of nonsense....try out this include file #include <iostream.h> or #include <iostream>
both also can run & work but in different situation....

Add the following line just after the includes:
Code:
using namespace std;
or do the following:
Code:
std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
may help....

 I *think* ( it's been awhile) that #include "iostream.h" will include the "iostream.h" file in your project's directory, whereas #include <iostream.h> || #include <iostream> will include the one in your IDE's include path's. I know for sure that quotes cause it to check the current directory first, but I can't remember if it will search the include paths too.

note that <iostream> would be the appropriate C++ syntax.
