C++ Compiler - Really Need Help!

I have been searching for a good compiler for days and have yet to find out that works the way I need it to work.

I have tried several free and paid compilers. I have yet to find out that will let me compile:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

       cout >> "This is a test";

return 0;
}

I really just want a compiler to try out my programs. I am doing console apps as of right now and just need a compiler to test them out with.

 

I'm assuming you're using Linux, so I'll advise Dev-C++ to you. Nice and easy C++ compiler. If you don't like that one, or have problems with it as well, you might want to search "C++ Compilers" on Google. Have fun.

 

Linux: DevC++
Windows: Visual C++ 6.0

 

Doesnt answer your question, but shouldnt that be <iostream.h>?

Been awhile since my C++ class though, so I'm not sure...

 

I think it's <iostream.h> in some situations, but all the beginner tuts don't use .h in <iostream> for some reason. I was wondering about that myself.. o_0
