Help... please!

You forgot th .h after iostream, and your int main needs to return 0, so here''s your new source coode:

#include <iostream.h>

int main ()
{
int i;

cout << "Type a number: ";
cin >> i;

if ((i%2)!=0) cout << "Number is odd.\n";
else cout << "Number is even.\n";
return 0;
}
See ya.

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries."

You have forgot to qualify the std namespace in some way.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int i;

cout << "Type a number: ";
cin >> i;

if ((i%2)!=0) cout << "Number is odd.\n";
else cout << "Number is even.\n";
} 

or

#include <iostream>

int main ()
{
int i;

std::cout << "Type a number: ";
std::cin >> i;

if ((i%2)!=0) std::cout << "Number is odd.\n";
else std::cout << "Number is even.\n";
} 

Hope that helps

iostream.h is not a valid C++ header file :/. Needs to be iostream (without a .h).

What's the difference between <xxx> and <xxx.h> headers?

to the Original Poster, you'll get far better answers if instead of just posting code and asking "what's wrong with this?" you post a series of the reasons why you think it's wrong and why you don't understand how to fix it.

e.g.
post the error messages the compiler gives you.
Say that you've looked it up and don't understand the terms

or
post the error messages the compiler gives you.
Say that you've looked it up and understand what its saying but don't seem to be able to fix it.

or
Say that it's not giving the results you'd expect. Say what they are and what you expected. Say why they shouldn't be what you're getting

etc.

gosh... sorry about that... that was a real freudian slip.

iostream.h and iostream are both correct, however iostream.h is a relic only around for backward compatibility, like goto statements and the like, and as such is not advisable.

in what way is iostream.h correct?

that is true in as much as it is for compatibility with code written before standardisation. The iostream.h library and iostream library are very different. The iostream library works with iterators and the STL.

goto is part of the standard
