Process of Creation, Compiling, Linking and Executing a C++ Program

Process of Creation c++ program:

There are following steps are creating a c++ program:

Step 1 : start→ run

Step 2 : Run dialog box will be opened. Type the path of c++ editor in open textbox.

Now click ok button.

Step 3 : C++ editor will be opened. The source file is required to be turned into an executable file. This is called “Making” of the .exe file. The steps required to create an executable file are:

Create a source file, with a .cpp extension.
Compile the source code into a file with the .obj extension.
Link your .obj file with any needed libraries to produce an executable program

All the above steps can be done by using Run option from the menu bar or using key combination Ctrl+F9 (By this linking & compiling is done in one step.

Step 4 : when done select save from file menu and save the file as hello.cpp

Process of compile c++ program:

For compilation do it: Select compile menu or press Alt+c or Alt+F9 to check syntax error if any otherwise you will be shown the message of success.

Process of linking c++ program:

In the Turbo C++ IDE, compiling and linking can be performed together in one step.
There are two ways to do this: you can select Make EXE from the compile menu, or you can press the [F9] key.
