beep() function in C++ "was not declared in scope"

I'm trying to use C++ beep() function of windows.h in CDT. But it doesn't compile and throws this error:

'beep' was not declared in this scope
Function 'beep' could not be resolved Here is the code: 

/*
 * blahblah.cpp
 *
 *  Created on: Jan 28, 2016
 *      
 */

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    beep(523, 500);

    //cin.get();
    return 0;
}

I'm using MinGW on a 64 bit Win7 machine
Thanks

Solution

  • The Beep function begins with a capital B. C++ is a case-sensitive language.
