Running C++ and C programs in Linux

This page is going to be simple and sweet and apart of the Linux C++ section. Don't worry Windows users I haven’t forgot about you. I will create a new section for Linux users though because I have noticed that some of my users are Linux users. This is according to my web statistics.Before we start programming the first thing you must do is install g++.
Open terminal> type sudo apt-get install g++ when working with c install gcc and remember to save the text file as a .c extension



There are several capabilities with Linux as a C++ builder. I actually prefer building programs in for simplistic purposes I will use the simple gedit word processor as a complier.


Take a look at the images below:(click to enlarge)

The first picture is before we save it as a .cpp file.
1) click save as
2)In the title textbox delete everything name it what ever you want but then add a .cpp extension.
3). Click save and notice the colour coded text. ( see image 2)

Now we have output to the screen. You just built your first program in linux congratulations! Now you just apply this to the other things you learn in c++ when working in linux or other unix based operating systems.
