Practice Problem 2: Hello World

Objective: To learn how to write, compile, execute, and turn in a C++ program

    /* Craig Persiko
       hello.cpp

       Simple Hello World program
    */

    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
      cout << "Hello, World!\n"; // Display the string.
      return 0;
    }

Here is your assignment:

• Unlike other practice problems, you must each do this assignment for yourself (no group work).
• Your program should be exactly like the above program, except yours should have your name, the file's name (like above), and "CS 110A Practice Problem 2" in the comment at the beginning, instead of my name.
• Make sure to compile your program (using g++ or the compiler of your choice), and then execute the file produced by the compiler (using a.out or however you run your program).
• Turn in your source code and the test run showing how your program worked.
• You may use whichever compiler you wish, but I recommend you do this assignment on hills or another Linux machine, in order to get some experience with this environment. Follow the instructions given in class and in the Computer Access and Use Information handout.
• Make sure to submit your homework on Insight, on the Assignment page for Practice Problem 2.
