macOS xcode command line c++ issues

[dvince2]

Hey everyone
I've been trying to find an answer to this both here and through google, but i've had no luck.
I'm teaching myself C++, and am writing some basic (hello world, add to numbers, guess the number, etc) programs. I want to learn xcode's IDE (I've been using eclipse for java and C development (as well as emacs ).

My issue is, I don't see a way to run the program through xcode. I know that in eclipse, there is an interactive terminal at the bottom of the window. I don't see anything like this in xcode.

Is there an interactive terminal in xcode? Or do i have to use the actual terminal to compile and run the code I'm writing?

Thanks,
dvince2

In Xcode 3 you have to open the debugger console to enter input and see the output of command-line programs. Choose Run > Console to open the console. Choose Build > Build and Run to run your program.

Sweet. Thanks so much! Problem solved.

File > New Project > Command Line Utility > C++ Tool

That should do it. Just write your app in the main.cpp. Build and Go will open the console.

Hope that helps.
