new to programming, how do you use a compiler?
-
I am trying to teach myself C+. I wrote a little code in notepad and I downloaded the free borland compiler. How do I get the compiler to make the code work? I'm lost and know nothing, please help!
Some ideas: 1. RTFM. I mean, the compiler had to come with some sort of documentation, so check that out. Most of us here use Microsoft's compiler so I'm not sure how many of us could help you with Borland's. 2. Run the compiler on the command line and see what kind of "usage" messages you get back. It may list all the compiler options available. 3. Search the web for documentation on the compiler. The Borland site may help. Good luck, Alvaro
Hey! It compiles! Ship it.

Hi there I would suggest you get a compiler with a graphical user interface(gui), with icons and buttons to click. Command line compilers can be difficult to use especially for beginners. I'm new to programing myself and i found it to be to huge of a mission since i am a beginner. So i got myself Visual Studio.Net easy to use. There are free gui compilers like Bloodshed witch you can download. http://www.bloodshed.net regards bhangie :)
