Syntax is just gcc my_source_code.cpp, or gcc -o my_executable.exe my_source_code.cpp. It gets more complicated, of course, when you have multiple source files (as in implementation; anything #include d works automatically as long as GCC can find it). MinGW appears to be a version of GCC for Windows, if that's what you're using.
I have some template code that I would prefer to have stored in a CPP file instead of inline in the header. I know this can be done as long as you know which template types will be used. For exam...
I'm reading "Think in C++" and it just introduced the extern declaration. For example: extern int x; extern float y; I think I understand the meaning (declaration without definition), but I wonde...
I have simple console application in C++ that I succeed to compile with Visual Studio. I wanted to try Visual Studio Code so I copied the directory to the computer with Visual Studio Code instal...
In C++ the "^" operator is a bitwise XOR. It does not work for raising to a power. The x << n is a left shift of the binary number which is the same as multiplying x by 2 n number of times and that can only be used when raising 2 to a power, and not other integers. The POW function is a math function that will work generically.
I want to iterate through each element in the map<string, int> without knowing any of its string-int values or keys. What I have so far: void output(map<string, int> table) { m...
There is more information here on how to deal with this problem: Where does Visual Studio look for C++ header files? For me, I followed xflowXen's answer and then at "Include Directories" typed in the specific pathname where my header file was located followed by a semicolon, something like: C:\Users\name\source\repos\p2-A\p2-A; then applied the changes and the issue went away.
I have an int a that needs to be equal to "infinity". This means that if int b = anyValue; a>b is always true. Is there any feature of C++ that could make this possible?
