C++ is case-sensitive, and you also didn't give main a return type. So...

void main() {
cout << "Hello World";
}

is what you need.

One small point...keep your code well-spaced, because when you write larger programs, C++ gets unreadable very quickly! :D

If your code is exactly as you typed it, it is wrong.

try:

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!";
return 0;
}


You must return some value from the main() function

you were missing the void (or return type) prior to your sub.
