It is a compiled language, which means that it must be translated into machine code before it can be executed on a computer. Microsoft&#8217;s integrated development environment (IDE), Visual Studio, provides developers with an abundance of powerful tools that are ideal for creating, testing, and deploying applications across the entire Microsoft ecosystem. Let&#8217;s delve deeper into the complicated steps involved in running C++ on Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Installing_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Installing Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To commence running C++ on Visual Studio, you must first install the IDE on your machine. Luckily, you can readily download the Community version from Microsoft&#8217;s website free of charge. It is a lightweight version of Visual Studio that comes equipped with all the necessary tools required for C++ application development. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Creating_a_New_C_Project\"><\/span>Step 2: Creating a New C++ Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have installed Visual Studio on your machine, you can proceed to create a new C++ project. You can do so by clicking on &#8220;File&#8221; and then &#8220;New Project.&#8221; In the &#8220;New Project&#8221; dialog box, select &#8220;Visual C++&#8221; and then &#8220;Windows Console Application.&#8221; On the right-hand side, select &#8220;Console Application&#8221; and give the project a name. Ensure that you have selected the &#8220;Create directory for solution&#8221; checkbox, and then click on &#8220;Create.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Writing_C_Code\"><\/span>Step 3: Writing C++ Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To advance, you must write C++ code for your project. In the solution explorer, expand the &#8220;Source Files&#8221; and click on the &#8220;main.cpp&#8221; file. This will open a new tab where you can write your C++ code. Visual Studio automatically provides a simple &#8220;Hello World&#8221; program to this file by default.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Building_and_Running_the_Code\"><\/span>Step 4: Building and Running the Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After writing the C++ code, the next step is to build and run the application. Visual Studio comes equipped with a built-in compiler that will compile your code into an executable file. To build the code, click on &#8220;Build&#8221; and then &#8220;Build Solution&#8221; or press F7. This will compile the code and create an executable file.<\/p>\n<p>To run the code, click on &#8220;Debug&#8221; and then &#8220;Start Debugging&#8221; or press F5. This will run the code in the console window of Visual Studio, allowing you to view the output of your program.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Debugging_the_Code\"><\/span>Step 5: Debugging the Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visual Studio offers robust debugging tools that you can use to debug your C++ code. If your application has errors or crashes, you can use the debugger to find the source of the problem. To debug your code, add breakpoints to your code by clicking on the margin of the text editor. When you run the application in debugging mode, Visual Studio will stop upon reaching the breakpoints, allowing you to inspect the variables and the call stack to locate the root of the issue.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visual Studio is widely regarded as one of the best and most popular tools for developing C++ applications. In this article, we have covered the intricacies of running C++ on Visual Studio, from creating a new C++ project and writing C++ code to building, running, and debugging the code. With Visual Studio&#8217;s comprehensive tools, creating powerful and efficient C++ applications that are easily deployable and maintainable is a breeze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Intricacies of Running C++ on Visual Studio C++ is an incredibly robust programming language that is heavily utilized by developers worldwide.
