ASTU
Getting Familiar with the C++ Environment
• Software Requirement
• Opening an IDE
• Creating new Project
• Workspace and Projects manager
• Changing Code Blocks Settings
• Our First C++ Program
2
Software Requirement ASTU
• A C++ Compiler
• GCC(MinGW) Compiler<=Preferred
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
• Borland C++ Compiler 5.82
• An IDE
– Code Blocks<=Preferred
– Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Studio
– Turbo C++
3
Opening an IDE ASTU
– IDE= Integrated Development Environment
• A set of programming tools for writing
applications (source code editor, compiler, linker,
debugger, etc.), all activated from a common
user interface and menus.
– Open Code Blocks
4
The Environment ASTU
5
Create a new Project ASTU
• An application is a runnable program.
Most applications are built from multiple
source files.
– Code::Blocks keep track of the files and compiler
settings need to build an application with a project file
6
ASTU
• We use Console Applications
– An application that uses the command line
for input and output rather than a graphical
interface (GUI).
7
The Console Application Wizard ASTU
8
Project Properties ASTU
• Give descriptive project title
• Create a folder on c: drive(preferred) or
use existing folder
9
Project Properties ASTU
• Cbp=Code Blocks Project
10
Select Compiler ASTU
11
Workspace and Project Manager ASTU
• Workspace collects projects together
• where you can easily switch between projects
• The Projects are listed on the Manager
– One sample c++ source file is inserted
• Can’t see Manager?
– make sure it is checked on the view menu
12
Windows Explorer ASTU
• View your Project in Windows Explorer
13
Settings ASTU
• We can change settings as desired
14
Environment Setting ASTU
15
Compiler Settings ASTU
• Don’t change this if you didn’t install
additional compilers separately
16
Our First C++ Program ASTU
remember the functions of "endl and \n"
17
Namespace and Libraries ASTU
• A namespace is a collection of name
definitions.
– One name, such as a function name, can be
given different definitions in
two namespaces.
– A program can then use one of these
namespaces in one place and the other in
another location.
18
Namespace and Libraries ASTU
• All the standard libraries we will be using
place their definitions in the
std(standard) namespace.
– It is almost impossible to write a C++
program without using at least one of these
libraries.
• To use any of these definitions in your
program, you must insert the following
using directive:
using namespace std;
19
Namespace and Libraries ASTU
• For example, the library for console I/O
is iostream. So, most of our
demonstration programs will begin
#include <iostream>
20
Build and Run ASTU
• Build: The source program will be
compiled and linker links the object files
created by the compiler into an
executable
• Run: The program will be in memory
21
Console Screen ASTU
• We can change the color and Font of the
console
– Right click on the title bar
– Choose properties
