How do I run a CPP file in a terminal

To run a C++ (CPP) file in a terminal, follow these steps:

Compile the CPP file: Use a C++ compiler such as g++ or clang++ to compile the file into an executable. For example: g++ -o myprogram myprogram.cpp
Run the executable: Once the file is compiled, you can run the executable by typing its name in the terminal: ./myprogram

Additional tips:

Q: What is the difference between compiling and running a C++ program? A: Compiling converts the source code into an executable, while running executes the compiled code.
Q: Can I run a CPP file without compiling it? A: No, the CPP file needs to be compiled into an executable before it can be run.
Q: How can I debug a C++ program? A: Use the -g flag to generate debugging information and then use a debugger such as GDB.
Q: What are some common errors when running a CPP file? A: Compilation errors (e.g., syntax errors), runtime errors (e.g., segmentation faults), and logical errors.
Q: Where can I find help with running CPP files? A: Online forums, documentation, and online courses.
