Mumbai University fails to keep up with the ever-evolving C++ syntax. Making Turbo C\/C++ as their prescribed IDE, Turbo C\/C++ is ancient and will not compile with the present syntax of C++. Here is the simplest example:
\n[sourcecode language=’c++’]
\n#include
\n#include
\nvoid main()
\n{
\n\tcout << \"Hello\";\n}\n[\/sourcecode]\nThe above code, when compiled with g++ 4.3.4, will give the following errors, but with Turbo C\/C++ will compile and run just fine:\n
\nfirstApp.cpp:1:22: error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
\nfirstApp.cpp:2:19: error: conio.h: No such file or directory
\nfirstApp.cpp:4: error: ‘::main’ must return ‘int’
\nfirstApp.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
\nfirstApp.cpp:6: error: ‘cout’ was not declared in this scope
\n<\/code>
\nHere is the same code, but following the correct syntax:
\n[sourcecode language=’c++’]
\n#include
\nusing namespace std;
\nint main()
\n{
\n\tcout << \"Hello\";\n\treturn 42;\n}\n[\/sourcecode]\nwill compile and run just fine.\n\n\n
