What is consciousness?

[TheGreekDollmaker]

Oh wait, an error...

#include <iostream>
#include<FreeWill.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "I am conscious!";
return 0;
}

There we go!

I see that you can program in C++ ?

Through you forgot that its <iostream.h>.

No, you can just use #include <iostream>. The .h extension is unnecessary. Most C++ programs that I see begin with:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

No extension necessary.

Ive always thought consiousness was just all of our brain working together...
Our senses, our ability to analyze, our ability to use and think in a language, and our brain chemistry..

I think I read in Bruce Eckel's "Thinking In C++" that the .h extension option in include statements, is about backwards compatibility with C or something along those lines.

iostream.h is an antiquated header that is no longer supported, and as such is goddamned impossible to find (I tried finding one for my students so that I wouldn't have to teach them "using"). Everything formerly within iostream.h is in iostream, but you have to specify that you're using the std namespace. So, in simple speak...

#include<iostream.h>

is equivalent to

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

So, have I created consciousness?

I think so therefore I am?
