Okay, I started C++ and I put in:

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;    //introduces namespace std
int main( void )
{
          cout << "this is a test" ;
          return 0;
}
I compiled it using Dev C++, and then I clicked Run. Nothing happens.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

The &lt;iostream&gt; was there, I just added the correct HTML entities to make it visible.
