Size?

[MidgetsBro]

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

#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?! 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 . Now it's only 36kb.
