First program.

[ikkesomye]

I am completely new to any programming language.  I am just sort of following this youtube video making your first C++ program and even though I have followed it step by step when I build and run nothing happens.

I'm sure you have all heard this question before I am just really lost.

This was the youtube video

The website I am learning from

thanks to those willing to help me out.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n";
  cin.get();

  return 0;
}

Welcome!!!

I'm sure you have all heard this question before I am just really lost.

what is your question?? Did you search the forum firstly??
we discuss only Code::blocks related question here, if you would like to discuss some programming question, I suggest you can go to some forum dedicate to that issue.

my bad sorry.  Basically I am running and building the program and nothing is happening.  I am not getting the same command prompt hellow world! message the user in the video is getting.

en, what the exact steps did you do? also please describe your OS? C::B version? compiler version......

Basically I am running and building the program and nothing is happening.

this statement has no sense. (you just say: I have a problem which we all know)

clicking the button to build and run like said in video.
Nothing happens.

what have you done before you click the button??
...
I don't want to see a whole tutorial to see what the step you take. ( the video takes 10 min)
I suggest you can just use the project wizard to create a simple console program, then test again.
