It is so very important to tell people that C++ changes so often and so quickly that they need to be sure that they indeed do have the latest compiler and software. But at the same time is important to tell them that it is possible to get the older material to compile and how to do it. Both these items, the rapidity of material change to the language, and the method of which to compile the older code should be addressed in an answer on why legacy code doesn't work. Now the question is, did Shaymaa's code recompile with changing iostream to iostream.h? If not, what compiler switch should he use on gcc? Jeff These thoughts are mine alone but may be shared by others.
