OK, as a C++ newbie, can someone tell me why this program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int Test(int argc, char *argv[]) {
std::cout << "'Sup, Holmes?";

generates this error:

I don't know. Your program compiled, linked, and executed for me
error-free, once I changed "Test" to "main", as you also apparently did
(given the last line of the error).
