i did the hello world code and tried to compile it but when i try to i get it saying:
Compiler: Default compiler
Executing g++.exe...
g++.exe"C:\My Documents\hello world.cpp" -o "C:\My Documents\hello world.exe"
Execution terminated

It looks like you are compiling "hello world.cpp" with the output file (the program) being called "hello world.exe" which is fine and you dont seem to be getting any errors, again this is good. You now need to run the program (which you have created by compiling your source code). Find "hello world.exe" and run it. You should see "Hello World" displayed on the screen in a command line window.

One suggestion though, i would avoid using spaces in names since makes things confusing. Generally, being a java programmer i would have called it HelloWorld.exe or helloWorld.exe with the capital letter indicating a new word. Some like to use underscores (i may be wrong but i think this is what they like in c++), so it would be named hello_world.exe. Just a small point but it'll probably save you some confusion in the future.

And don't use hyphens in your names either. Because some programs use a hyphen as an option descriptor.
For example Hello-World some programs may read that as Hello being the program name and -World being an option.

i just realized that i can't compile anything i tried one of the hello examples they provide and i can't even compile the thing and run it it's a load of ****

Then get a different compiler, bloodshed.net has a good one.
