"No such file or directory" error during C++ compilation

Question

fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory

Why code blocks returned this error after compile

I'm a beginner in C++

There is no `iostream.h` in C++. If you learned C++ using TurboC++ then I regret to inform you that most of what you have learned is out of date and should pretty much be thrown out. — NathanOliver, Oct 28 '19 at 18:59

@Chipster Neither of those are correct. This question is about missing `` (which is an old non-standard header), not missing `` — NathanOliver, Oct 28 '19 at 19:05
@NathanOliver Ah. Sorry. I knew I had seen something similar before and kind of just pounced. — , Oct 28 '19 at 19:06

In C++, You need to Include iostream without the 'h'

without the h it is `iostream.` :P – 463035818_is_not_an_ai Oct 28 '19 at 19:49
Better reference site: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_iostream -cplusplus.com is generally a fairly poor reference.. – Jesper Juhl Oct 29 '19 at 19:55

use only #include<iostream> as #include<iostream.h> works in old compiler like turbo c++.
