Look no further than Visual Studio. Running a C++ file in this integrated development environment is a straightforward process. Let&#8217;s go through the steps to create a C++ project in Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, navigate to &#8220;File,&#8221; then &#8220;New&#8221; and select &#8220;Project.&#8221; On the &#8220;New Project&#8221; window, choose the &#8220;Visual C++&#8221; option on the left sidebar, then select &#8220;Empty Project.&#8221; Finally, name your project, determine a location for the project, and click &#8220;Create.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Add_a_New_C_File\"><\/span>Step 2: Add a New C++ File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve created the project, the next step is to add a new C++ file. On the Solution Explorer menu on the right, right-click on the project name and select &#8220;Add,&#8221; then &#8220;New Item.&#8221; Choose &#8220;C++ File (.cpp)&#8221; from the list and give the file a name. Finally, click &#8220;Add.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Write_C_Code\"><\/span>Step 3: Write C++ Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the new C++ file, you can now write your program code in the Visual Studio editor. For example, you may want to write code that prints &#8220;Hello, World!&#8221; to a console application.<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>\n#include &lt;iostream&gt;\nusing namespace std;\n\nint main() {\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout &lt;&lt; \"Hello, World!\";\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return 0;\n}\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Compile_the_Code\"><\/span>Step 4: Compile the Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After writing code, the next step is to compile it to detect any syntax errors. Select &#8220;Build&#8221; from the menu bar and &#8220;Build Solution&#8221; to compile your code. If there are any errors, Visual Studio will list them in the &#8220;Error List&#8221; window.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Run_the_C_File\"><\/span>Step 5: Run the C++ File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, run the C++ file to see the output. Select &#8220;Debug&#8221; from the menu bar and choose &#8220;Start Without Debugging&#8221; or &#8220;Start Debugging&#8221; to run the C++ file. The output console will display the message: &#8220;Hello, World!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, Visual Studio is an excellent tool for developing and running C++ programs. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, these five simple steps will enable you to create and run a C++ project in the Visual Studio environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Run a C++ File in Visual Studio: A Beginner&#8217;s Guide Step 1: Create a C++ Project Are you overwhelmed by the abundance of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12195"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
