OLD IS GOLD :P

Dev-C++ is a free programming environment. To get it, you can download it from http://www.bloodshed.net. If you decide to use it, you should help the developers with a financial contribution.

    Change the contents of the file as follows:
     

    #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << "C++ is Fun!!!"; getchar(); return 0; }
