Eclipse C++ Function printf could not be resolved

[FaiL___]

Hi, I am planning on moving from Windows to Linux so have just decided to try eclipse as a visual studio alternative, but I just have a simple program at the minute, and printf isn't working (code below). I have seen posts online but not found a definite fix.

Thanks in advance.

 

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	printf("hi");
	return 0;
}

printf ("%s \n", "hi");

try this

try this

unfortunately that did not work, for a little while, it said that "hi" was not spelled right, and it was showing the correct details for printf when I hovered over it, but I changed the " to ' on hi and it fixed that problem, but went back to saying function could not be resolved

Hmm. I am by NO means an expert on C++, but according to everything on this; your code is right. This leads me to believe there is a compatibility issue, or otherwise something inhibiting the success of your code that is located elsewhere. Try stepping into it to see if you can find out what's going on

It's not in the running of the code, it won't even let me run the code because of the error (well, I assume because of the error, it actually says "Launch failed: Binary not found", but this error is just being detected by the IDE itself.

Still kinda sounds like a separate issue. Before you go on to further troubleshooting, try removing the \n as it might be causing your message to not appear

This is what it is saying in the IDE (I just removed the \n). It's not the running of that code that is the issue, it's just the actual syntax by the sounds of it.

 

PS I also changed the hi text to a variable to see if that would help. It didn't.

Isn’t char for single letters? 

 

For C++ I think you’d want to use stdio with cin and cout for console input and output. 

 

(RIP mobile doesn’t have code thingy)

 

#include <std.io>

 

int main (){

short foo;

Cout << “hello world” << endl;

cin >> foo;

return 0;

}

 

i Never used C syntax knowingly with C++.

That has nothing to do with your code, it cannot find the executable. The code should work. Does it compile? Where is the resulting executable stored? It sounds more like you haven't got the IDE configured correctly than something wrong with the code.

As for printf not resolved: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19305406/eclipse-c-c-function-printf-could-not-be-resolved

Try right click on project > Index > Rebuild.

Made a little mistake there; should be:

const char* hi = "Hi"; //Double quotes for a string literal...

The original should've compiled fine tough, there's something wrong with your IDE setup. Looks like it can't find the required header (stdio.h)

According to my knowledge....

printf is for C programming language....ND cout is for C++ programming language.....

I guess u HV messed up..

Write this...

 

cout<<"Hi";

For c++ use iostream and cout 

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){

 

cout << "Hello" << endl;

}

[wasab]

you using eclipse. Try a better IDE. Use cin and cout. printf is C. Sure, c++ compiler can compile many C code like printf but why dont you want to use the C++ standard library?

 

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	std::cout << "Hi" << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

I've never like eclipse. You might want to try VS Code if your used to Visual Studio. It's not exactly an IDE, more of an editor, but it does a lot of IDE like stuff by tying in with your build environment.

Try using the IDE CLion instead, I don't think most people would recommend Eclipse (I've seen quite a few code issue threads on here that ended up just being Eclipse being buggy).

Have you tried to use cstdio instead of stdio.h? It is deprecated. Also, what C++ compiler do you have?

using namespace std;

add this and it will work
