First C++ Program

hi guys .... i am new to programming and this is my first C++ program... the only problem i have is that the size is large...almost 5MB... is there anything that can help me to reduce the size?

here is my source...

#include <iostream>


int main()

{

float number1,number2;

float sum,subtract,product,division;

std::cout <<"Enter the value of number1 :";
std::cin >>number1;
std::cout <<"Enter the value of number2 :";
std::cin >>number2;

sum=number1+number2;
subtract=number1-number2;
product=number1*number2;
division=number1/number2;

std::cout <<"sum is :"<<sum <<std::endl;
std::cout <<"subtract is :"<<subtract <<std::endl;
std::cout <<"product is :"<<product <<std::endl;
std::cout <<"division is :"<<division <<std::endl;

return 0;

}

any help will be appreciated:)

5MB is the size of the executable? What compiler are you using? Sounds like it's linking a bunch of extraneous crap. The executable is 13k with gcc

well i am using MSVC++ 6.0... i also made other program but it also ends up with 5MB in size... the size of the executable alone is 512KB...but the whole debug folder is like 5MB.

Build it in release mode, that will actually turn on the compiler optimizations and should give you a nice and lean executable.

It's 37k using VC++ 2008 in Debug mode. I think ralph might be correct about "Sounds like it's linking a bunch of extraneous crap".

thanks for the help guys.. will look in the compiler options...:)
