Cout is declared in iostream header.

#include "iostream"
using namespace std;

cout is part of the std namespace, so either write std::cout or put a using namespace std on top of your file (after the header file inclusion). Another point: conio.h and stdio.h are for C. If you are using cout (which is part of the C++ standard library), you should #include <iostream> instead.

Hint: Stdio.h is for C-Style input output routines. Can you guess what header has the prototypes for C++ style input output routines? :) [Add: Oh my Gawd! Two people beat me to it already :) ]

Add this header file

#include <iostream>

And also write cout as

std::cout<<"Hello!";

Either add getche() before return statement and press F5. or Go to command prompt and run your program exe directly.

Press Ctrl+F5

akt

Error!!! Error 1 error C3861: 'getche': identifier not found e:\visual programming\practices\test\test\test.cpp 13 test

to use getche() you will have to use #include <conio.h> by the way you should choose second option.
