Simple begginer question, HELP!!!

[santeph]

Hi I just started learning C++. The compiler I use in college is turbo C++ and at home I'm testing the free trial of Borland builder enterprise. All I use in school is #include<iostream> and main() in a very simple program that calculates the of sum a+b.
When I open Borland builder, there's already some code on it, if I delete it, I get compile errors; If I leave it and put my little program below, it compiles but the .exe file that comes up doesn't work at all.
This same program was ran perfectly by Turbo C++ and the .exe file worked well. Any one have any ideas on how to work with Borland builder enterprise to do the simplest programs?
Any feedback is very well appreciated.

Jim.

that is because borland builder try to build a form. you have to click on new and open a console aplication, and then normaly type in your code. that should work.

Another way to build a console app is to use your favorite editor to create the code then compile it from the command prompt. See your help for command line programs including bcc32 and linker32. James P. Cottingham
