The End

Note: The following is the code we just ran. // Fig. 2.5: Welcome.cpp // Text-printing program. #include // allows program to output data to the screen // function main begins program execution

11

int main() { std::cout << "Welcome to Visual C++!\n"; // display message return 0; // indicate that program ended successfully } // end function main

12

Tired off typing std::cout? If so,use this: ….”using

namespace std”

// Text-printing program. #include // allows program to output data to the screen using namespace std;

//added this Greg Lee

// function main begins program execution int main() { //std::cout << "Welcome to Visual C++!\n"; // commented out Greg Lee cout << "Welcome to Visual C++!\n"; // addeed Greg Lee return 0; // indicate that program ended successfully } // end function main
