Hi,
please have a look at this code.

 class A {
        public:
                explicit A(int);
        };

main()
{
A obj=8;
}

While compiling i am getting error "Type name expected" at "explicit" keyword.
What could be the possible reason and its solution?

Thanks

Usage looks OK. What compiler are you using? Is it one that doesn't support the "explicit" keyword?

I am using Turbo C++ version 3. Which version should i use?
Thanks.

Certainly not an ancient compiler that was actually coded by a dinosaur, that's for certain.

You will need to use a modern compiler if you want to use modern languages. gcc does a good job of keeping up with the times, or you could use the Microsoft compilers (downloadable for free from MSDN).

I have Visual Studio 2008. But i don't know how to create C++ application on them.Can you guide?

It's really not hard. File -> New -> Project; in Project Types pick Win32 under Visual C++.
What happens next depends on what kind of project you want. Given that your ability is such that you can't find File New Project, I suggest starting with the template Win32 Console Application.
Give it a name and location, it will create a basic project that you can build and run (maybe after adding a line to display Hello World) using the cunningly named menu Build -> Build Solution. After building, fix any compile errors, then use the menu Debug -> Start Without Debugging to run the program.
