Thanks everyone, I will give it a shot when I get home. I just thought that
it was odd that it ran from the prompt one day and not the next. The book I
am using was pretty vague on the compiler syntax. I compiled it without the
.o extension as well, I was about to go out and purchase code warrior, so
hopefully you guys just saved me some $$$ : )
I am pretty new to C++, compiling, etc., I really want to learn this
stuff... I am trying to figure out how to validate input from a user to
make it accept only positive numeric values. I was using a while loop to
check it, but when the user enters an alpha character, I get stuck in the
loop of death, I am sure many of you have experienced this. I asked my
instructor how to do this, but he said that he wasn't sure. would an if
statement nested in a while loop solve my problem??
Sorry about these newbie questions, but it's my second week in the class.. :

First the .o extension is for compiled but not linked modules. Your
command line should be something like 'g++ Assn2.cpp -oexp1', or more
commonly: 'g++ Assn2.cpp -oAssn2'.
You problem is probably the 'current directory' is not in your PATH. Try
executing your program with './exp1.o'.
