C++ Getting Started

C++ Get Started


To start using C++, you need two things:

A text editor, like Notepad, to write C++ code


A compiler, like GCC, to translate the C++ code into a language that the computer will understand

There are many text editors and compilers to choose from. In this tutorial, we will use an IDE (see below).

C++ Install IDE


An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to edit AND compile the code.

Popular IDE's include Code::Blocks, Eclipse, and Visual Studio. These are all free, and they can be used to both edit
and debug C++ code.

Note: Web-based IDE's can work as well, but functionality is limited.

We will use Code::Blocks in our tutorial, which we believe is a good place to start.

You can find the latest version of Codeblocks at http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26. Download the mingw-
setup.exe file, which will install the text editor with a compiler.

C++ Quickstart
Let's create our first C++ file.

Open Codeblocks and go to File > New > Empty File.

Write the following C++ code and save the file as myfirstprogram.cpp (File > Save File as):

myfirstprogram.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
Don't worry if you don't understand the code above - we will discuss it in detail in later chapters. For now, focus on
how to run the code.

In Codeblocks, it should look like this:

Then, go to Build > Build and Run to run (execute) the program. The result will look something to this:

Hello World!
Process returned 0 (0x0) execution time : 0.011 s
Press any key to continue.

Congratulations! You have now written and executed your first C++ program.

Learning C++ At W3Schools


When learning C++ at W3Schools.com, you can use our "Try it Yourself" tool, which shows both the code and the
result. This will make it easier for you to understand every part as we move forward:

myfirstprogram.cpp
Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

Result:

Hello World!
