Re: [Dev-C++] newbie needs help

The commented code should be inside the main function, between the two {}.
Also you need to qualify the scope of the flags in the first, so:

cout << ios::fixed << ios::showpoint;

Which will compile in Dev-C++, although I have noticed it outputs a weird
number, but I'll let you sort that out.

The second commented code works fine (assuming you put it inside main()).

The last won't work, but it's not needed as you should use ios:: and not
ios_base::

I've attached some code for you to work with.
