Morning!

I am facing a small problem with the following code:

#include <iostream>

#define DIM 1

#include "cTest.h"

int main()
{
	return 0;
}

and here the cTest.h-file:

#pragma once

#ifndef CTEST_H
#define CTEST_H

class cTest
{
public:
	cTest(void);
	~cTest(void);
	void Count ()
	{
		cout << DIM;
	}
};

#endif

Now I am getting the following errors:

Quote:

error C2065: 'DIM' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier

Could you please let me know, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!
F.R.

Try adding .h in #include <iostream> or using namespace std

Dear shabbir,

thanks for the reply. But:

1.) #include <iostream> is the new standard. adding .h is not used any more.
2.) using namespace std was not working, still the same erros are coming up

But thanks.
F.R.

What compiler you are using which gives error on adding "using namespace std". If it gives error for "using namespace std" that does mean you need to include the file using the older method of .h

Hi.

I am using VC++8.0, so there shouldn't be any problem with including 'using namespace std;'.

What i meant is, that even including this line, the errors mentioned in my first post don't disappear.

Add the following line in the .h file as well

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Okay. this one works. But how do I get 'DIM' into the cTest class without writing the definition a second time?

[shabbir]

Define it in the .h file instead of .cpp file.
