Small hello world problem, again!, sorry.

scatcat · 04-04-2002, 02:29 AM

I have written the famous 'hello world' program, compiled it with out errors.

I have checked the permissions and it is executable. However when I come to run it nothing happens.

The cursor just returns to the prompt with no output and no message at all.

Can someone please explain what is going wrong.

Thanks.

it's amazing what some people think constitutes a concise question...

if you're using c or c++ printf statements or similar, you've probably just not got a \n at the end of the line, if you're using cout then you've proly not given a "<< endl" if it's java, maybe you've used print instead of println

Sorry I should have said, it's written in C.

As you pointed out it hasn't got an 'endline' in it.

I'll give it a try with that inserted and see if that solves it.

thanks

That was it, a missing '\n'

Everything works fine now. Thanks for all your help.
