Hi I'm on win xp.
Trying to learn c++
So i'm learning from here:
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson1.html(That's how new i am to programming, don't laugh)
It says i need a compiler. so i go with one of it's recommendation, code::blocks
So i go to code blocks url
http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/first those screen shots show an older version of codeblock v1.0
i have 8.02
any my problem is. i entered the same exact code that those screen shots have, i hit F9
and nothing happens. something flew by the build log screen but too quick for to capture.
never the less a command prompt like that in the
http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/ never appeared?
can someone let me know what i'm doing wrong?
I would be ever so grateful.
i know it must be simple ,i'm completely new to all this.
additonal notes:
Codebloks itself is installed in the default program files directory.
i save the project to my "My Documents" folder
This is what I have in the folder structure:
My Documents\MyProjects
MyFirst.Workspace
I also have another folder under myprojects
My Documents\MyProjects\MyFirstProgrammingProject\
uder that i have,
main.cpp
myfirstprogrammingproject.cbp
myfirstprogrammingproject.depend
myfirstprogrammingproject.layout
