Build Probs Visual C++ 6

Hi,

Every time i try and build the following program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n, i=1;
cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";
cin >> n;
long sum=0;
while (i<=n)
sum += i++;
cout << "The sum of the first " << n << " integers is " << sum;

}

the following error appears:

--------------------Configuration: 3_14 - Win32 Debug--------------------

Linking...

LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16

Debug/3_14.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Error executing link.exe.



3_14.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
can anyone explain to me what is going wrong and how do I fix it??

Cheers Baz

It is a linker problem try makeing a new project paste that on and put in the correct linkers that you need.

BTW how much was your Visual C++ and where did you get yours?Just asking

You forgot the return 0 at the end, you need to return a interger value when using type int.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n, i=1;
cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";
cin >> n;
long sum=0;
while (i<=n)
sum += i++;
cout << "The sum of the first " << n << " integers is " << sum;
return 0;
}
