Size?

I am being bored and I put this in a cpp file and compiled it:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{

        cout << " ___ \n";
        cout << "|  |\n";
        cout << "|  |\n";
        cout << "|___|\n";
        return 0;
}

---

and when it's compiled, it's 172kb. I thought C++ was supposed to make smaller files?! :confused: How can I shrink the size?

Did you do this in the debug mode or the release mode? If you have it in debug it adds a lot of code to help the compile do debugging. It should be alot smaller in release mode

How do I change modes?

Nevermind... I got it! Next time I'll read the help files first :D. Now it's only 36kb. :)
