compile error with "cout << "Hexadecimal == 0x" << hex << m << endl;"
 

I used
#include <iostream.h>
int m;
cout << "Hexadecimal == 0x" << hex << m << endl;

to print value of m in hexadecimal mode.

But I got the compile error like this

couttest.cpp:20 `hex' undeclared (first use this function)

What's wrong with the code?

OS: Redhat 9
Compiler: gcc 3.2.2

Stop using this non-standard header. Its time have long been over.
Start using <iostream>. Read about 'std' namespace as well.

'm' is used here without being initialised. That is a very bad
mistake on some systems.

'm' has indeterminate value. You can't really expect to see anything
sensible.

Use of non-standard header. The code is a non-compilable fragment.
Perhaps you should read FAQ 5.8.

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int m = 42;
std::cout << "Hex of " << m << " is " \
<< std::hex << m << std::endl;
}

The problem is that hex resides in the std namespace. So you will need to
try something like:


#include <iostream>

int main()
{
int m = 255;
std::cout << "Hexadecimal == 0x" << std::hex << m << '\n';
}

HTH,

This header is deprecated, use #include <iostream>

Everything from the standard library lives in the std:: namespace,
so you have to use the prefix std:: or an using declaration/directive.
The following example should work:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
int m = 13;
std::cout << "Hexadecimal == 0x" << std::hex << m << std::endl;
return 0;
}

HTH & kind regards

It's not deprecated, it's just plain wrong. iostream.h is not
part of the standard language.

In addition to the other replies, std::hex is technically presented in
<ios>. <ios> is probably #included in <iostream>, but I don't know if
this is required.

It's not. <iostream> requires several things from <ios>, but AFAIK,
it doesn't require the manipulators. So you can't rely on them
being provided by <iostream> . Really, all <iostream> provides is
cin, clog, cerr, cout, and their wide character equivalents. Lots
of other stuff comes long just becuase those objects have complex
types, which require many things, but not the manipulators.

Thanks for your reply.

I think I need to find a good book to learn c++.

That code is copy from a book about GNU C++ for linux program.
