C++ Console Lesson 1: Creating a Console Application 2010

[AnimationsN1]

Hay. I have yet to even watch your video/s. However, I can tell they're going to be a great help, getting my foot into the door! Many thanks.

[pinkamh]

thank you so much for this tutorial !!! i really owe you one!!! ^____^

[bobkbob1]

whats the difference between c++ and visual c++?

[fatansassy911]

@bobkbob1 i think visual c++ is just the name of the compiler

[Jackson9797]

@bobkbob1 visual is newer and you can see what you have done after you coded it.

[97epicman]

Could I use DEV-C++ for this?

[StyIo04]

isnt it better to add using namespace std; at the start of the program instead of having to type std:: before every function?? can someone enlight me?

[SzeTheProGamer]

i am interested in programming!!currently i have learned vb.net and also about a bit of cpp , as i know a lot of people say cpp is the hardest to learn , once u learned cpp , other languages are easy , but can we like make powerful yet secure programs with it? i am just asking cuz i am not great with cpp.

[WanabeGorilla]

Can someone help me?

When I try to open a new project, and get the dialog like the one on 0:46 of the video, I don't have the Win32 Console application option. Why is this and how can I get it?

[JamerTheProgrammer]

I LOVE your tutorials.

They are so calm and very easy to follow.

[HumphreyTheWolf]

I smiled when I made it <3

Thanks man! Your super helpful! I love how you don't write down the code in the description and make us write it on our own. It helps us learn, instead of just some ol copy and pasting.

Your really helping out, I can't thank you enough :D

[CodingBakenn]

@HumphreyTheWolf agreed. Just like we don't learn by just watching

[HavocManX5]

Or you can type at the end:

system("Pause");

:)

[Albinbobbo]

Damn! I don't know how to left-click... FML I can never do this :(

[TheLearningacoustic]

when you display "hello world" do you need ' std:: ' could i just type 'using namespace std ' before the function main ?

[jasswant1234567890]

very easy

[SEVERE200814]

its a lowercase L after end!!!

[elbnderi]

great tuts..

I only wish if there was no sound background, so I could focus more..

Thanx anyway

[ThundurusWalkthrough]

i dont have win32 ?

[contoepico]

dude... thank you for this tut, was looking for ages to find a way to get into the compiler in visual 2010 :/

[RIPRobotChicken28]

its an L not a 1 after end 

[simwir]

what do you do if you have a 64 bit system?

[DaveoCamaro]

wow. the first line includes the code

iostream

not

isostream

this took me ages to figure out... not a great way to start my programming career...

[JakobRobert00]

why don´t you just add "using namespace std;" in the scope?

then you don´t have to wrtie std:: before every single function

[MihailoSilni]

the music is soo relaxing..

I can't focus....

[THEGAMINGRULER]

ONE BIG QUESTION with all these tutorials will I learn most of the thing about c++ so i could make a game or some thing! PLEASE ANSWER i use to program with vb but i heard its not good for game making and c++ is the most powerfull programing language so PLEEEEEASE HELP ME

[paulykid08]

@THEGAMINGRULER it's going to take you awhile........

[IsaacWilsonIsaac]

I really like this.

[MegaCrafting]

Why are you typing "std:: " before those two commands ?

Is not it easier to write

using namespace std; before int main() ?

[barneyhero]

Thank you for being the best tutor

[TheStarfox707]

ok so when your done with the code press f7 not f5.then when your don press ctrl + f5 to run

[xmonke55]

wtf right when i start to create a new project it says:

"creating project 'Lesson1'...project creation failed"

[Masterpj555]

This video needs no dislike button. Great stuff man, very nice that you took/take the time to help people learn C++ (including me)

[HumorOfANerd]

Why is the code in your one different colours, and did those indents just happen or do we have to put them in?

[toadking07]

Thanks so much!

[H1dNGaming]

[DirtyRallerbabz]

Glad to help :-)

[luvlala05]

i could use some help here! I did everything he said, even added ' cin.get (); ' and the screen still goes away after I type in a number. Any ideas?

ty

[Archmage9078]

@luvlala05 type:'system("pause")' and that will do the same, cin.get() is a function which waits for you to enter a character like the command 'getch()' in C

[CamMikeProduction]

Thanks!

[ultimatekhanimefan]

hey do these tutorials work on dev-c ++?

[conortehgamer]

in mines it just comes up

the file can not be found

[MultiJamestv]

yay now we got the code but 1 thing when we look to all these videos u guys just tell us what to write without telling what the code stands for so i don't really know what std::cout << "hello world!" << std::endl; accually is but yea the code works

well could u tell us more? =)

[ghaoticc]

I dont get the solution explorer the project tab if i click finish, but it does say Creating project 'Lesson01'... project creation successful. Did i do something wrong ?

[Diiful]

Programmers are the best YouTube commenters

[digler99]

I'm surprised windows apps let you do anything without blacking out the screen, popup a scary looking window, and warning you that actually using your computer might harm it somehow and if you proceed it's your fault.

[gakukid991]

You video are awesome are the only video where the code can be see very easly

[scrub645]

@gakukid991 you aren't told what it means, how are you going to get anywhere if you don't know what it means?

[gakukid991]

@scrub645 it means"awesome video"

[ness123456798]

end1; is not working help :O

[MissAliciaDark]

I've heard alot about c++ and I still dont get the larger picture. Of what it does and what people use it for. Just a quick replay could help.

[stupidrainbo]

these tutorials look professional and stuff, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into these, but you don't really explain how each individual thing works, you just explain what "these couple lines of code" do

[v94j]

hm... when adding the std::sin.get(); it stops working and sais something about a error and it dose close directly, but if i start it with ctrl+F5 it stays open...

[pimpmydog]

hey is it necessary to do the std::cout. can you just use using namespace std?

[ViviXiii]

Whenever I try to compile anything, I get something like: "1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler intermediate file: 'C:\Users\"etc, : No such file or directory"

how can I fix this?

[InsanEternelity]

dude , can you put the code in the desciption so that i can copy and paste? reply asap ._.

[PKSam08]

My antivirus tell me it's virus Troyan Gendal.474990.D ............. xDD))))

Why?

[VinVanVo12]

@PKSam08 well its called a false virus. chill its completely virus free

[Protection4Real]

@PKSam08

you antivirus program sucks?

if you got mcafee dont be suprised it shows false alarms sometimes XD

[PKSam08]

@Protection4Real no. antivirus called Avira

[thejoshy680]

You can use this line of code so you don't have to type std:: all the time:

int main()

{

using namespace std; <- This will automaticly use that std function

Great tutorials btw :D

[MachinimaTurK]

0 people had trouble understanding, you're the best. :)

[MrDeivi1994]

I've been asking myself for so much time why my programs dont run in other computers.... wow... thank you man...

[Th3Colour]

Where it says:

std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;

after "end" there is a lowercase "L" I think a lot of people put a "1" instead of "L".

[snoozedogg95]

@Th3Colour lol ty

[coolstuffyep1]

@Th3Colour

i know for shure i did the code right because i copyed it and pasted but all the STD are red and when i put my mouse by it it says::ERROR:NAMED FOLOWED BY '::'MUST BE A CLASS OR NAMESPACE NAME....so i dont know what to doo..

[insomniak08]

Evey time I try to debug the code I get an error. I understand that I must have typed in part of the code wrong but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it could be. It looks identical to the code on your screen and when I copy the code from the link it works. Is there something I am missing?

[handheldgamer144]

I know there's a function in windows that does the same thing as "std::cin.get();", but it also says something like "press any button to continue". I read about it somewhere, but I forgot exactly what it is. So for now, I will just use std::cin.get() or a shortcut.

This is what I *dislike* about programming Windows. Something like that isn't required for UNIX based systems like mac OS X or Linux.

[kevkev797]

where it says left click project my project tab isnt there.. i dont think i did anything wrong...

[pastusj05]

@kevkev797

I dont have the project tab either.

did you figure it out?

[pastusj05]

@kevkev797

I had the same problem. You need to click on the SOLUTION EXPLORER bar. If its not on an auto on one of the sides you can get to it by clicking the correct tab on the toolbar above. or try Ctrl + Alt + L. Once I clicked on the Solution Explorer tab the Project tab appeared.

[pastusj05]

@kevkev797

I had the same problem. You must have Lesson1 highlighted in the Solution Explorer window. If you do not have the solution explorer window open you can get to it by clicking the SE tab on the above tool bar.... or try Ctrl + Alt + L (I think). Once the window is opened select Lesson1 and the appropriate PROJECT tab should appear.

[SuperTakashii]

I want to copy the code but your voice put me in a trance and I couldn't bring myself to pause the video.

[SuperTakashii]

This guy knows how to teach a lesson. He goes through things slowly and stays calm, relaxed and focused.

[LeetofExile]

I encountered that if you save it before debugging it says theres an error and does not create the .exe in your debug folder, nor does it run the .exe

[anze224]

u can still "start without debugging" by Ctrl + F5.

[franzfrei1]

you are the best i saw about more 20 films i not see any good film

you fim is the best

[itsjamieshepherd]

This isn't a lesson? "Copy this code, and press run" is not a lesson, you haven't explained a single thing. What a waste of not only mine, but your own time.

[SuperTakashii]

@itsjamieshepherd See Lesson 2. Do a little looking around before you complain about a perfectly good set of lessons.

[zenya123]

He sounds more like a robot to me

[XxImmortalNoSoulxX]

if u ever feel lonely, Or that noone cares about you i just want u to now, U are the kindest human ever!!! and i will allways be thankfull to you

[ConstipatedKoala]

so if u do this this u wont get an error message about not a having a valid Win32 application right?!

[johhny188]

put the code in the disc

[TheJakobnator]

thats not the hello world program I learned I tried what everyone else knows and it doesn't work



[T0x1cHax0rz]

At the end of line four before the ; that is a lowercase L.

[deenotheman2]

If you need to be told to left click, stop watching programming videos.

[0lsi]

why don't you just add "using namespace std;" at the beginning.

[ararnz]

@WindJackell don't add  " .ccp " main.ccp

[ThePolarisKid]

great tut it really helped me

but on the flipside just for laughs

isnt it funny that "std" is used so much?

[Toranagah2010]

Dude, you're the best teacher I've ever had.

[jussipejulliano]

You're a legend !

[oSCARFACEo1989]

Did you try to start a new project and debug. Did you get the same error?

[theslayer29179]

great tutorial xoaxdotnet :D

[WindJackell]

Hi, this tut is some good stuff but whenever I start the debugging and hit "Yes"

I get this error-

"There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?"

When I hit "Yes" there I get

"Unable to start program -the file location-. the system file cannot be specified"

Any help?

[xoaxdotnet]

@WindJackell The problem is that you still have errors in the code and you never had a successful build. So, there's no successful build to run. What you need to do is look over the code and make sure that you typed the code correctly. If you can't find any errors copy the the code from our lesson page at xoax.net. Follow the link under "Additional info:" in the description below this video.

[brandonwild11]

@xoaxdotnet i put in code you say and look it over and it is right and out it in and ses it is wrong

[ShannonSmash]

@xoaxdotnet I had an error as well even the my build was successful. I tried it again(No edit to the code), and it went through.

[stukabomber44]

@WindJackell make sure your code is absolutely 100% perfect, spaces, letters, capitalization, EVERYTHING has to be crystal clear. thats all I can say, I had a space and a quotation mark misplaced, so gotta make sure you have it all right

[MEANmadMATT]

@WindJackell maybe this is only me, but at the std::endl; I typed std::end1. hope this helps :)

[DirtyRallerbabz]

@WindJackell To give you further help:

"std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;"

std::endL not 1 - that fixed it for me. Hope it works for you aswell ;) gl :)

[warpthree1]

@DirtyRallerbabz

that helps thx :D

[elvencraft]

@WindJackell

Just to reference the reason it said that was most likely because you typed in end1 and not endl, make sure its a lowercase L, not a 1

[xXzerosk8er4lifeXx]

@WindJackell i got that too but ur prob forgetting the } at the very end

[cheese00chicken]

@WindJackell Where it says end1. It actually says "endl" as in l for lemon

[kryptic127]

@cheese00chicken ahhhh thank you man i was trying to find that one error i knew was there somewhere

[towatchutube123]

@WindJackell I know why, because the part where is says std::endl;

Well the "endl;" has an lower case L at the end of end. Not a one, he probably should of said that, very confusing.

[ExtinctAce]

wow this is the only tutorial that has worked for me.

thanks

[paaatista]

thanks

[HDFPS]

why std::cin.get() when you could just type

system("PAUSE")

[THEBUGUSER]

@HDFPS 1. the source cooe woun't be portable anymore.

2. you are actually running a new instance from the cmd.exe with the pause parameter... your program needs more processor power.

3. you are here to learn programming... not run other programs what you will do with system("pause")

[joannecw86]

I dont know why i couldn't add new item, I am stuck at 1:32. I follow exactly the steps.. am i missing sth or...

[bluestone01071]

this guy is a big help. thanks man. and you sound so humble and kind. i admire you now. :D

[dragonmaster888888]

@bluestone01071 It's the music, it makes everyone sound humble and kind.

[srwxuf]

thanks 

[wikerRain]

thnx last version of c++ i used was with visual studio 6 a few changes i see ive missed over the years. big help

[gangpor]

its much quicker to just type? #include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()

{ cout << "Hello world!"; cin.get(); return 0;

}

[VBNerd7]

can't u just stop saying *Left Click* ???

We won't use the right one anyway!! -.-

great tutorial though! :) thanks a lot!

[madman7654]

when i do it my text is not in color why did i do some thing wrong i foloed your vid and tryed it twice and it still dont work

[thedonutjames101]

what dose this make

[JBassDoug]

why not enter; "using namespace std;" so you dont have to do all of the std and endl stuff all the time?

[unreal900]

Question: Before int main() the little box is not there for me?

[Iboshido]

heyy thanks for upload... you r a very big help ;)
