this is the error, and the code is:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
}

i am also having the error:
cannot open source file "iostream". Please run the 'Select IntelliSense Configuration...' command to locate your system headers.

Your using int to define the function, that means it is expecting a value to return out of the function. To fix this do:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
OR
#include <iostream>
void main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
}
Voids do not expect anything to return out of them.

the errors are still there
Hmm, how are you running the file

the main function doesn't require an explicit return statement, but must have int for a return type. See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/main_function
OP's error is due to a misconfiguration of vscode
if you are using windows, I would advise you use visual studio 2022 instead of vscode
also, for future reference

is there ANY way for me to use vscode?i want all my programming stuff in one packet
plzzzz
latent bobcat
sure, read the documentation and figure it out ^^
latent bobcat
the reason we recommend VS2022 over vscode is so that you can focus on learning what you actually care about (the language), rather than to have to learn literally everything else before even getting hello world to work
solid magnet
i see
solid magnet
but you still havent ansered exactly why it wont work in vscde
or why hello world wont work in it
latent bobcat
because you didn't configure it properly
it can work in vscode, it's just a huge amount of work that can be quite overwhelming, when VS2022 is literally just a few clicks and works ootb
valid forge
so visual studio has its own compiler for it?
The code works when I run it. I’m using visual studio.
Visual studio is great because it has all the stuff to run and debug code build into it

what other things can u do in vs

U don’t need to return a value for an int function, but it is a good thing to do.

that is wrong
you need a return value for any non-void function, the only exception being main, where return 0; is added by the compiler if it is omitted from the code

U don’t need to, but it’s not a bad thing to do

there's hot reload that is pretty cool, the fact that you don't have to deal with a build system (directly) is something I've always appreciated, even if it's a limiting factor. You can also use it for some other languages
latent bobcat

you are required to return something from a non-void function
valid forge
you are *required* to return something from a non-void function
Yes, but if ur new to C++ it dosent hurt to just say that all non-void functions require a return
Even if it’s the main function
latent bobcat
it does hurt to say "you don't need to return from a non-void function" tho
because it is incorrect
latent bobcat
and main isn't allowed to be void (except through non-standard compiler extensions)
valid forge
Rly, I’ve always used void
