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.

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

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...)

You need a wait command like system("pause");
