Compiling and running C++ in Visual Studio is essential for you. With its powerful tools and intuitive interface, Visual Studio makes building high-performance applications a breeze.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Download_and_Install_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Download and Install Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First things first, download and install Visual Studio. You can visit the Microsoft website to download the latest version of the software. After downloading, double-click on the setup file and follow the instructions provided to install it on your device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Create_a_new_project\"><\/span>Step 2: Create a new project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once Visual Studio is installed, launch the software and click on \u2018File\u2019 > \u2018New\u2019 > \u2018Project\u2019 to create a new project.<\/p>\n<p>In the \u2018New Project\u2019 dialog box, select \u2018Visual C++\u2019 on the left-hand side and then \u2018Console App\u2019 on the right-hand side. Provide a name for your project and then click \u2018Create\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Write_your_code\"><\/span>Step 3: Write your code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your new project created, it\u2019s time to start writing your C++ code. Open the main.cpp file located in the \u2018Source Files\u2019 folder in the Solution Explorer, and write your code. You can also add additional files to your project if required.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Compile_your_code\"><\/span>Step 4: Compile your code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve written your C++ code, it\u2019s time to compile it. In Visual Studio, you can do this by selecting \u2018Build\u2019 > \u2018Build Solution\u2019 from the menu bar.<\/p>\n<p>Visual Studio will then compile your code and generate an executable file. You can find any errors or warnings generated during compilation in the \u2018Output\u2019 window.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Run_your_code\"><\/span>Step 5: Run your code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your code compiled, it\u2019s time to run it. To do this in Visual Studio, select \u2018Debug\u2019 > \u2018Start Without Debugging\u2019 from the menu bar.<\/p>\n<p>Visual Studio will then execute your code and display any output in the \u2018Output\u2019 window. If your code requires user input, Visual Studio will provide a command prompt for you to enter input.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_up\"><\/span>Wrap up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Compiling and running C++ code in Visual Studio is a straightforward process.
