I am certainly not an expert but I am quite sure that the code that you posted is not C, C++ or MFC. At least it is no variant of C, C++ or MFC that I recognize. You sure you are in the right forum?

I'm not sure where should I post this but it's part of the code in Clips (C Language Integrated Production System ) environment which is software tool for building expert systems.
please let me know where should I post it?

I already gave you a link to the Clips page. You need to try there, as that is where you will find other people who understand that system.

Use the best guess

If it were me looking to know about someone else's language or IDE, I would go to the source and ask them. For CLIPS, I would go here[^]

You've been told that this forum isn't suitable, yet have decided to post here again. No matter how may times you post CLIPS != c || c++, the c=part denotes it can be integrated with c-based systems. Additionally CLIPS is relatively specialised, rule based programming is different to the way c operates.

All this adds up to one thing: the advice I have seen here so far is spot-on: don't post this here as this isn't the correct forum and few people here will have an interest in CLIPS, your chances will be vastly improved by posting on a specialised CLIPS forum where everyone is there as they know about/are interested in it.

The defrule for Rule0 has an unbalanced number of brackets BTW my guess is there is one missing at the end of the "not" line, and the ? after tank-is-full looks suspicious. Of course I know next to nothing about CLIPS, which is why going to a CLIPS forum would be so handy.

How to make a EXE in windows

28-Apr-13 22:46

yeah, I do that but I didn't get any answer so I post here.
yours help a lot because every time I check every thing else rather than brackets. I didn't pay attention to that at all, it was just frustrating to check sth again and again and don't know what to do.
my problems solved, THX

A couple of weeks ago, I got this nasty rash on my mouse clicking finger. I posted a question to a medical site but nobody answered. I figured that since I was writing a C++ program when it started to hurt that I would repost my question here.

Download Visual Studio express as replied earlier.
In that you need to create a project.
There are several types of projects in Visual Studio.
Here is a simple tutorial - http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/tali/E15/Visual_C.html[^]

You need to create a project, add the source files to it, compile it and fix the compiler type errors if any.
After this process, you will have an executable.

As for creating a setup program, you can use the free Wix Toolset.
It will integrate with Visual Studio so that you can create the setup program from Visual Studio itself.
You can download it from here - http://wixtoolset.org/[^]
Here is an extensive tutorial on Wix - http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial[^]

You need to understand the process of compiling and linking. If these are new concepts to you then take a look at How to: Compile a Native C++ Program from the Command Line[^].

Here's how to make a simple .exe (application executable program) in Windows, copy this source to a file that will call main.cpp

C++

// We will declare our header files as our first column
#include <iostream>

// Declare namespaces as the second column
using namespace std;

// "int main()" serves as the starting point for our program
int main()
{
     cout << "Hello user!" << endl;

     return 0;
}

Compile this and go to your project's folder and double-click on a folder called bin and then double click on the folder called debug. If its not in there click on the other folder which is called release, if you managed to accidently compiled a release version of your program.

And there it is, your first made .exe file. Cool | :cool:

That's the first line, or row.

Visual C++ Express does not create bin directories.
