how to run the code

To run a C++ code, you need to follow a few steps. Here's an explanation of each step:

Write the code: First, you need to write your C++ code in a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE) of your choice. You can use any basic text editor such as Notepad, or more advanced IDEs like Visual Studio Code, Xcode, or Eclipse. Save your code with a .cpp extension, which is the standard extension for C++ source files.
Compile the code: After writing your code, you need to compile it into an executable file. Compilation is the process of translating your human-readable code into machine-readable instructions that the computer can understand. To compile a C++ code, you need a C++ compiler. GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is a popular choice and comes bundled with most Unix-like operating systems. If you're using Windows, you can install a C++ compiler like MinGW or use an IDE that has a built-in compiler.

To compile your code using GCC, open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where your code is saved, and use the following command:

shell g++ your_code.cpp -o output_file

Replace your_code.cpp with the name of your C++ source file and output_file with the name you want to give to your compiled executable file. This command will generate an executable file in the same directory.

Run the code: Once you have successfully compiled your code, you can run the executable file. In the terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where your executable file is located and use the following command:

shell ./output_file

Replace output_file with the name of your compiled executable file. This command will execute your C++ code, and you should see the output (if any) printed on the terminal or command prompt.

That's it! You have successfully run your C++ code. You can now modify your code, recompile it, and run it again as needed. Remember to save your code after making any changes before recompiling and running it.
