Greetings,
I am very new to C++ coding. I'm simply attempting to write scripts that use commands like cout, but I'm having trouble getting Eclipse to resolve it. I open Eclipse, create a new C++ project, and when I select the project type to be "Hello World C++ Project," I am automatically greeted with a source folder and a file with the Hello World program already scripted, implementing std, cout, and endl. However, when I create a new C++ project and select the project type, "Empty Project," I copy/paste the code from the auto-generated Hello World program, and immediately, std, cout, and endl are underlined in red, and Eclipse tells me they cannot be resolved.
Why is this?
I suppose I could work around it by just making all of my projects "Hello World C++ Projects," but I figure I must be missing something here. What's the point of having a project type--Empty Project--that doesn't recognize basic code like 'std'? And should I infer from the name "Hello World C++ Project" that it's only suited for simple programs that display text strings, and that there's some drawback to using it for anything else?
Sorry if my question seems really ignorant or noobish, like I said I'm completely brand new to C++, and I appreciate your time.

By sticky posts do you mean this? ---> http://wiki.eclipse.org/Before_asking_a_question_on_the_forums
This is the Eclipse version I'm running:
Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600
I've also attached two screenshots of my code for reference.
For the first one (HelloWorldTest.cpp) I went to File > New > C++ Project, and selected under "Project Type," Executable > Hello World C++ Project, and selected under "Toolchains," MinGW GCC. I clicked finish, entered the code you see in the screenshot, and it runs without errors.
Here's a text copy of the code (copy/pasted from the .cpp file):
//============================================================================
// Name : HelloWorldTest.cpp
// Author :
// Version :
// Copyright : Your copyright notice
// Description : Hello World in C++, Ansi-style
//============================================================================
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl; // prints Hello World!
return 0;
}
The second one (CoutTest.cpp), I went to File > New > C++ Project, selected under "Project Type," Executable > Empty Project, and selected under "Toolchains," MinGW GCC. Again, I clicked finish and entered the exact same code as in the first file. I copy/pasted it directly from HelloWorldTest.cpp.
Here's a text copy of the code:
//============================================================================
// Name : HelloWorldTest.cpp
// Author :
// Version :
// Copyright : Your copyright notice
// Description : Hello World in C++, Ansi-style
//============================================================================
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl; // prints Hello World!
return 0;
}
Does that help?
I've also attached a screenshot of the errors from the "Problems" tab. The first error is pointing to a different project. The bottom 3 errors are the ones I'm concerned about, and I wouldn't expect the other project should have anything to do with it.
