iomanip.h does not exist in VC++ 2008

[blackhawk_prince]

Hi, I am learning C++ with Deitel & Deitel How to Program C++ 1997. For this chapter I need iomanip.h for ios::fixed | ios::showpoint. As I am using a book over 10 years old has there been major changes in C++ that I should use a new book. For example, I also learned Java from Deitel & Deitel for 1997 and then all the input had to be gotten form the JOptionPane. In school I learned that sun had invented the Scanner class which I found much better and easier to use. I'm not a noob, I am strong at Java and OOP and if I do need to buy something new what should it be?

Just keep in mind that Java first appeared in 1995. And that Java 7 is in development right now. That is, your use of the term "Java" (at least in this context) is likely very loose.

I agree.

If you use GCC compilers, those headers should still be there for backwards compatibility reasons, but your compiler will give you a bunch of warnings since they are old. Get a newer book, or find an online reference. This is what I usually use.

Thanks for all the help. I got my code working and Tony the "Java" I know is Java 1.6
