Getting "error: `cout' undeclared" when compiling

[scaryfast]

Hi.

 

When I try compiling the following source using g++:

 

#include <iostream>
 int main()
   {
   cout << "Hello, World\n";
   return -1;
   }

I get:

 

hello.cc: In function `int main()':

hello.cc:4: error: `cout' undeclared (first use this function)

hello.cc:4: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)

 

Can anyone help me fix this?

I've just figured this out -

 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World From About\n";
}

I needed the 'namespace'.

 

How embarrasing.

 

Sorry.
