(C++) (Turbo C++ 2006) Hello World

To create a Hello World program in Turbo C++ 2006 do the following:

Go to 'File | Close All' to close the default project
Do 'File | New | Other' to go to the 'New Item' menu
In the 'New Item' menu, select the 'Item Category' 'C++ Builder Projects'. In the right part, you can now double-click on 'Console Application'. Do so to start the 'New Console Application' dialog.
In the 'New Console Application' dialog, set 'Source Type' to 'C++', uncheck 'Use VCL', uncheck 'Multithreaded', check 'Console Application'. Then press OK to be taken to the Code Editor.

In the Code Editor you will see the code below:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
pragma hdrstop


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
pragma argsused

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change it to the code below:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
include <iostream> //Added

pragma hdrstop


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
pragma argsused

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; //Added
	return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press F9 to start your Hello World program.

There are two notes:

The program will close automatically after displaying Hello World on the screen, as it will not wait for a key press
The code above is not standard.

To accomplish both, use the code below:

include <iostream>


int main()
{
  std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
  std::cin.get(); //Wait for a key
}
