I feel so braindead right now, I'm stuck on the first C++ thing despite having been learning this for a number of days now. Anyone able to help, because despite doing the correct code, it just isnt taking.

#

I'm on my hands and knees, someone just explain it like I'm an intrigued toddler

Did you watch the intro video?

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

#

#

It told you what to do in the introduction video, you only need to change one single string

trim pond Feb 4, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

You may want to reset the exercise (using the ... menu) then follow the video instructions

#

I don't know what it is, why am I not understanding

#

#include "hello_world.h"

using namespace std;

namespace hello_world
{

string hello()
{
return "Goodbye, Mars!";
}

}

#

the string is what I need to modify

#

"Find that string, change it"

#

Change it how??

#

Usually its this, right?

#

#

Did you try resetting the exercise?

#

Your code looks very different from the start code

#

If you change more than one thing, it's wrong

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

Reverted it repeatedly

#

no difference

#

same thing

#

#

sorry wifi broke lol, the first screenshot is Replit (how i learnt first), second is Exercism

#

Im gonna lose it, I feel like ive tried every combination and the video explains nothing

#

other than "dont complicate it, jsut modify the string!"

#

yes but HOW

#

@trim pond I am so so sorry to bother you but im losing my mind here

#

<@&1082332817465298997> ill take anyone, im obsessed with this now and I need the answer

#

im so sorry to ping

#

its gonna be the simplest answer i know but ive got nothing

#

Yeah, please don't start pinging everyone, that's rude. Discord is not real-time conversations. Ask a question, and then wait for someone to answer.

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

yes sorry

#

I'm gonna have a full blown unadulterated anyeursm

You can tell how new I am to this, not once did I know that 'return' was also used as a 'cout' kind of thing

trim pond Feb 4, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

That doesn't look the same. It looks very different.

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

i got it now

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

trim pond That doesn't look the same. It looks very different.

trim pond Feb 4, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

Please don't use screenshots to share code or any other text.

trim pond Feb 4, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

umbral cave i got it now

umbral cave Feb 4, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

trim pond Feb 4, 2025, 9:49 PM

Looking carefully does often help 😄
