	The problem is not with any of your syntax, it is that you are using
"Hellow.c" as a filename and not "Hellow.cc" or "Hellow.cpp".  GCC thinks that
your file is strickly a "C" source file and therefore would not be able to use
"iostream.h".  Also, you should change "-lstdc" to "-lstdcxx" since you are
using C++ and not C.
