Program 1: Hello World

Program 1: Hello World

"Hello World" seems to be the first program in almost every programming book, and this is no different. But this one is broken.

How can you break something as simple as "Hello World"? Take a look and see:

1 /************************************************
2 * The "standard" hello world program.           *
3 *************************************************/
4 #include <iostream>
5
6 void main(void)
7 {
8     std::cout << "Hello world!\n";
9 }

User:	I can't log on to the system today. The modem won't connect.
Aide:	Look at your modem and tell me which lights are lit up.
User:	I can't do that.
Aide:	Well, I can't help solve your problem unless you can describe what's happening. Can't you look at the modem and tell me the status?
User:	No, I can't do that.
Aide:	Why not?
User:	The modem is down in the basement.
Aide:	So, why can't you go down and look at it?
User:	Are you kidding? There's six feet of water down there!
Aide:	Computers don't work under water.
User (amazed):	Really?
