Tired off typing std::cout?
If so,use this: ….”using namespace std”
// Text-printing program.
#include <iostream> // allows program to output data to the screen
using namespace std; //added this Greg Lee
// function main begins program execution
int main()
{
//std::cout << "Welcome to Visual C++!\n"; // commented out Greg Lee
cout << "Welcome to Visual C++!\n"; // addeed Greg Lee
return 0; // indicate that program ended successfully
} // end function main
