My daughter and SIL came home today just enthusiastic from a Hello World
seminar. Supposed to be the greatest thing since KY jelly. New ways of
webcamming, e mail, teleconferencing, yada yada yada.

I, being an old fart, am suspicious, because I believe if it was all that
good, it would be snatched up in IPOs on the first day by inside traders,
Know Whut Uh Mean, Martha? They are being called upon to invest some money.

Still, I am trying to keep an open mind. Anyone else heard of this?

Can't say I've ever heard of it, Steve. But on general principle I
think your gut instinct is right on. If "helloworld" is going to be so
big, they would have taken the cash spent running seminars and used it
to get the thing started instead. It's like the ads I occasionally hear
on radio stations offering info on the "next hot cool thing - invest now
on the ground floor...". Always seemed to me that if it was such a hot
investment, they would not need to buy airtime on big AM radio stations
to get the word out. Just my opinion. I'm not rich, so you can see where
my "investment" sense has gotten me.

So don't take my word for anything. My advice here is, as is said,
worth exactly what you paid for it...

Anyone else here who inevitably thinks of the following?

#include iostream.h

main()

cout "Hello World!";
return 0;

Only when I am writing in "c". In basic or masm it would look a little

C++ was the only language I was taught. BASIC I learnt myself after I
got a chuck-out Commodore 32. You only learn "Hello World" through
teaching. Let's just say it isn't the first thing that springs to mind
when you discover you can print messages on the screen :-).

There is missing an "int" in front of "main()".

Since there's no explicit return, it could be a void :-)

No, it _is_ "int main". int can't be left out. "void main" is invalid.
Also, as he did make a "return 0", the compiler should complain twice.
And going on nitpicking: The "return 0" can be left out. main is the
only function where this is true.

That brings flashbacks of C++ and Java UGH!

That's what I get for typing it in - with out the assembler
handy...
