<h1>Creating your C++ file</h1>
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
<p>You can begin coding your HelloWorld program. The .cpp file that you
|
|
|
16 |
create will be saved in the project folder you just created
|
|
|
17 |
<a href="cdt_w_newproj.htm">Creating a Makefile project</a>.</p>
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
<p>Files are edited in the C/C++ editor located to the right of
|
|
|
20 |
the C/C++ Projects view. The left margin of the C/C++ editor, called the marker
|
|
|
21 |
bar, displays icons for items such as bookmarks, breakpoints, and compiler errors and warnings.</p>
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |

</ul>
|
|
|
31 |
<p>To create a C++ file:</p>
|
|
|
32 |
<ol>
|
|
|
33 |
<li>In the <b>Project Explorer</b> view, right-click the <b>HelloWorld</b> project
|
|
|
34 |
folder, and select <b>New > Source File</b>.</li>
|
|
|
35 |
<li>In the <b>Source file: </b> field, type <b>main.cpp</b>.
|
|
|
36 |
<br>By default the source folder should be your project folder.
|
|
|
37 |
<br>The template selected is probably "Default C/C++ Source Template."
|
|
|
38 |
</li>
|
|
|
39 |
<li>Click <b>Finish</b>.</li>
|
|
|
40 |
<li>A Comment template probably appears at the top of an otherwise empty file.
|
|
|
41 |
Type the code, exactly as it appears below, in the editor.
|
|
|
42 |
Or you can paste it in from this help file.
