一个简单的C代码可以在Borland Turbo C ++编译器中编译并成功运行，但是在其他编译器中显示错误

Question

I have run the following code in Borland Turbo C++ and can run successfully:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a;
    int& b=a;
    a=10;
    printf("%d",a);
    return 0;

}

But when I try to run it in code block or visual studio or dev C++ I get the following error message:

[Error] expected identifier or '(' before '&' token

I would like to use code block or visual studio but I can not fix up this error. What is the wrong am I doing.

(My apologies if this post sounds silly/stupid. I thought I'd ask here. Ignoring these core bits never made anyone a better programmer.)

Thanks everyone.

Probably you are trying to compile it using C compiler. Try with C++ compiler like g++ it works!
