Body
copied!<p>I just got this book "Exploring C++" and I'm on my first lesson. I've been doing C# for a couple years as a hobby so i though why not give C++ a try.</p> <p>In the book it says i need to setup my compiler to use standard C++. I am using visual studio 2010 so i did. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235629.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235629.aspx</a></p> <p>but when i go to compile the code it all works fine except for one if statement.</p> <p>i have triple checked just as instructed so it must be something with the tools. </p> <p>specifically </p> <pre><code>if (not in) // this line here { std::perror(argv[1]); return EXIT_FAILURE; } </code></pre> <p>The full sample</p> <pre><code>#include <algorithm> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <ostream> #include <string> #include <vector> void read(std::istream& in, std::vector<std::string>& text) { std::string line; while (std::getline(in, line)) text.push_back(line); } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::vector<std::string> text; if (argc <2) read(std::cin, text); else { std::ifstream in(argv[1]); if (not in) { std::perror(argv[1]); return EXIT_FAILURE; } read(in,text); } std::sort(text.begin(), text.end()); std::copy(text.begin(), text.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "\n")); } </code></pre> <p>I would really like to continue with this book so any help is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>And I apologize if this is awfully noobish of me.</p>
