Compiling tutorial!
It's unsure if you will be compiling the code yourself, if not, this is a small showcase on how to do so. If this is you, Taran. You should know better, you already know this. If not, welcome and enjoy this tutorial!
Standard
g++ your_file_here.cppThis is the basic way to compile a C++ file.
Specifying output
g++ your_file_here.cpp -o your_executeable_hereThis makes a file called your_executeable_here.
Specifying C++ version
g++ your_file_here.cpp --std=c++<version_number_here>
# Example compiling for C++14 which the university requires.
g++ your_file_here.cpp --std=c++14Everything at once
g++ your_file_here.cpp -o your_executeable_here --std=c++14Running the file
Assuming your file is called your_executeable_here you run the file with the following:
./your_executeable_here # linux/mac
# Windows:
.\your_executeable_here.exe # powershell
your_executeable_here.exe # cmd
