To run C++* you need to follow these steps:
Written**First, write your C++* in a text editor or integrated development environment (IDE).
Save**: Save ** as.cpp
File.
Compilation**: Compiled with C++ compiler**. If you're using an IDE (e.g. Visual Studio, Code::Blocks, etc.), you can usually compile directly in the IDE. If you're writing in a text editor, you'll need to use a compiler such as g++ or clang from the command line or in the terminal.
From the command line, you can use something likeg++ o myprogram myprogram.cpp
of the command, among themmyprogram.cpp
is your source filemyprogram
is an executable file that is generated after compilation.
Run the executable file: The compilation process generates an executable file (which is usually the case on Windows.exe
files, which on Linux or macOS have no extension). Run this file on the command line or in a terminal, such as:./myprogram
Debugging: If there is an error when the program runs, you may need to debug**. Many IDEs offer built-in debugging tools.
If you're a beginner, I'd recommend using an IDE because they provide everything you need to write, compile, and debug, and are generally easier to use.
