<div>
hey<br />
you should really show us how you write that.<br />
<br />
with the little you wrote, when using a header file and not pointing the .h, you should include &quot;using namespace std;&quot; below:<br />
<br />
#include &lt;complex&gt;<br />
#include &lt;iostream&gt;<br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
#include &lt;complex&gt;<br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
#include &lt;iostream.h&gt;<br />
<br />
but not what you wrote<br />

hey
you should really show us how you write that.

with the little you wrote, when using a header file and not pointing the .h, you should include "using namespace std;" below:

#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

or

#include <complex>
using namespace std;

#include <iostream.h>

but not what you wrote

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am having conflicts compiling with the built in complex class and ostream definitions. The errors are all of the type:<br />
<br />
: error C2371: 'ostream' : redefinition; different basic types<br />
<br />
and<br />
: error C2784: ...<br />
<br />
Here is a sample of how the code is set up and results in the same type errors that I am getting ( under a Win32 console application in MS VC++ version 5.0:<br />
<br />
#include &lt;complex&gt;<br />
#include &lt;iostream.h&gt;<br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
void main( void )<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;complex&lt;double&gt; temp(1.0, -1.0);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cout &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;Test &quot;&nbsp;&lt;&lt; temp.real() &lt;&lt;&nbsp;'\t' &lt;&lt;&nbsp;temp.imag()<br />

Thanks for any assistance.

STL complex class and iostream

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
