I just started C++ I am reading the ebook Starting out with C++ 7th edition. I copied the code from the book and put it into Visual, under new project w32 console app with precompiled headers. Well When I use the iostream in the preprocessor directive line i get.. I searched around and do not understand why the iostream won't work, any help?

It's not because of
iostream
, but because you forgot to includestdafx.h
.The error is pretty clear on that. If you build projects with precompile headers, you have to include
stdafx.h
at the beginning of your implementation files.
