iostream

i have this in my code :

#include <iostream.h>;

but it says there is an error and wont compile, does anyone know why?

You don't need the ; after the >
Also depending on your compiler you don't need the .h for the iostream

FWIW:
the ; is considered NULL line and doesn't affect compilers

for example this will compile and run just fine:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h> ;

int main(){

    int i;;;;
    printf("hi there\n");;;;;;;;;
    return 0;;;;;;;;;;
    }

---

Basically you should include
<iostream>
on any compiler younger than VC++5.
This means that all elements are wrapped in the std namespace, beware!
