New to C++, and need halp!
 

Ok, I have made a sample .cpp file...and here is the code. Im using Notepad++

code:

/*
This is a simple C++ program.
Call this file Sample.cpp.
*/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// A C++ program begins at main().
int main()
{
cout << "C++ is power programming.";
return 0;
}


This is where i run into problems, how can I compile it? My original though was using the Visual C++ compiler code, which is something liek this:

C:\...>cl -GX Sample.cpp

coares that wouldn't make sense, as i dont have visual C++, i only HAVE notepad++. I need a way to compile my .cpp file, any suggestions? or could i make a simple compiler myself? If i got the code, and the compiler was a .exe or something, that compiled .cpp to .exe or something, I could do it, coares i'd need to know how to do that first.

ANYWAYS, so i need help compiling my .cpp file.

Oh thanks! :D

Here's the one I use: DevC++ 4.9.9.2 (Beta 5)

To compile your sample code, just load it in Dev and hit the compile button. :)

using DevC++, i put the .cpp file in, and said compile, and it said it did, but to where did it compile? And when i clicked "run", the command prompt would open for like 1/8th of a second then close. Hm :(

ANYWAYs, while i figure this out, ima also make more codes.

fubb, if you don't know what are you doing, don't do it

well no my pc just down't agree with the Comand Prompt whatsoever. Maybe if they were .bats...

Story of my life, never know what I'm doing, but I do it anyway.
:bleh:

Probably because it prints it then quits. Put a system("pause"); before return 0; and you will also need to add #include <stdlib.h> below #include <iostream> (well, I think stdlib.h is the right one...)

kk thanks!
