C++ Program

Before starting the abcd of C++ language, you need to learn how to write, compile and run the first C++ program.

To write the first C++ program, open the C++ console and write the following code:

snippet

#include <iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main() {
   clrscr();
   cout << "Welcome to C++ Programming."; 
   getch();
}

#include<iostream.h> includes the standard input output library functions. It provides cin and cout methods for reading from input and writing to output respectively.

#include <conio.h> includes the console input output library functions. The getch() function is defined in conio.h file.

void main() The main() function is the entry point of every program in C++ language. The void keyword specifies that it returns no value.

cout << "Welcome to C++ Programming." is used to print the data "Welcome to C++ Programming." on the console.

getch() The getch() function asks for a single character. Until you press any key, it blocks the screen.

How to compile and run the C++ program

There are 2 ways to compile and run the C++ program, by menu and by shortcut.

By menu

Now click on the compile menu then compile sub menu to compile the c++ program.

Then click on the run menu then run sub menu to run the c++ program.

By shortcut

Or, press ctrl+f9 keys compile and run the program directly.

You will see the following output on user screen.

You can view the user screen any time by pressing the alt+f5 keys.

Now press Esc to return to the turbo c++ console.
