Borland C++ 5.02

Borland C++ 5.02

Borland C++ 5.02

(OP)
Hi Guys! When run the code below in my Borland C++ 5.02 i get the error msg "Must use C++ for the type iostream." But i am using C++. My frens says theres an option that allows u to either compile in C or C++. If that is true, where do i change it so that i can compile the following program.

#include <iostream>

 int main()
 { int i = 10, j=20;
     int k = (i+j)/2;
   std::cout << "i is " <<i
            <<" and j is " << j << std::endl;
   std::cout << "average is "<< k
                << std::endl;
   return 0;

 }

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

It runs in my mind that you shouldn't use the std:: with 5.02. It has something to do with how the standard was implimented in that version (I think). Try removing it from your program and recompiling, it should work then.

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

I think you should in compiller settings set C++ node instead of C node. Also use extension cpp for C++ files.

Errm..wat shld i use then to achieve the desired results if std:: is not supported? Is Borland C++ 5.02 the latest version? if it is then y is std:: not supported. if it is not the latest version, then wat is the latest version and does it support std::?

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

why you don't try without std::?

The latest version is 5.5. It is available for free from www.borland.com . You can also download a debugger for it, too. At the time 5.02 was written, the C++ standard was still being debated and DOS was still in use.

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

By the way, I just tested your program with 5.5 and it compiled and ran just fine.

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

hi there,

just try to change the node type from c to cpp as well as extension of ur source file must be *.cpp n it will work fine.

RE: Borland C++ 5.02

A thought, in the mist of a dawn!!

I think that if the compiler demands that the file has a specific extension, then there is something wrong here!! Come one, it's just a plain text file!!
Sure, perhaps the compiler more easily senses whether it is a C++ or C program but I still think it’s a bit awkward!!

My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work
