iostream file not found in Code::Blocks

Question

I did use <iostream> as recommended in some answers, but it still says iostream is missing.

Give the source file a .cpp extension - it is currently being compiled as C code. — , Jun 12 '18 at 13:55
Also you don't need `std::cout` just `cout` as you are using the namespace `std`. — YesThatIsMyName, Jun 12 '18 at 14:10
@YesThatIsMyName But, [one shouldn't use `using namespace std;`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452721/why-is-using-namespace-std-considered-bad-practice). — Algirdas Preidžius, Jun 12 '18 at 14:14
@AlgirdasPreidžius But, if one uses it, he should use it properly :-) — YesThatIsMyName, Jun 12 '18 at 14:21
@YesThatIsMyName That's the thing - one shouldn't use it. Read the linked question. — Algirdas Preidžius, Jun 12 '18 at 14:23
@AlgirdasPreidžius I think for learning c++ it doesn't really hurt one in the beginning. — YesThatIsMyName, Jun 12 '18 at 14:25
@YesThatIsMyName I disagree. The (anti-)patterns learned, while learning the language, are harder to unlearn. — Algirdas Preidžius, Jun 12 '18 at 14:34
@YesThatIsMyName : neither does it hurt to learn the right thing from day 1. — Vishaal Shankar, Jun 12 '18 at 14:36

1.you have created the project as c program please select c++ in code blocks (ref screen shot)

2.Download and install only the file with name codeblocks mingw-setup.exe.(since mingw complier will be installed automatically).

3.try reinstalling code:blocks

and you need not use std before cout

since you have used the using namespace std; statement

hope it works!

Console says: "No such files or directory" and "Compiler Unknown".

The missing header iostream is delivery by any compiler package. So, probably, you do not installed it or you configured it badly.
