Why doesn't a simple “Hello World”-style program compile with Turbo C++?

Question

I have started learning C++ for my programming class. I have downloaded this \"Hello World\" program:

#include 
using namespace std;

int mai

Turbo C++ is a very old compiler and it is a little bit different from the GNU C++ compiler. The code you shared will work perfectly with the GNU compiler but to run it with Turbo C++ you need to make a few changes:

1. Change the name of header file from iostream to iostream.h
2. And remove the line "using namespace std" It is not required in Turbo C++. Here is the modified code:

#include 

int main() 
{
  cout << "Hello, World!";
  return 0;
}
