Compiling...
main.cpp
c:\documents and settings\jerry\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\hello world\hello world\main.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Jerry\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Hello world\Hello world\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
Hello world - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


This is the error. I always get a error i don't know what im doing wrong and here is what i typed:

/* Hello world Program
Written by Me */

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout <<"Hello World"; //says hello world
system("PAUSE");
return(0);
}


Oh i see i say's: ": fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory"

But how do i resolve this problem?

oooooooooo i got it to work, all i did was put a namespace underneith and got rid of "<iostream.h> and changed it to

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

then it worked! finnaly! i got something to work!

Hey, great! You should try to get into the habit of Googling as you go in order to find out why things work.
