Compiling with Visual C++ .NET


By default, VC++ tries to include all kinds of Microsoft junk. You can use this stuļ¬€ if you want to,
but the programs discussed in the course will be written in plain old vanilla C++. Use the following
steps to create simple C++ programs:


1. Start VC++.
2. Select File/New/Project or press ctrl-shift-n. In the New Project window:
(a) In the Project types: window, select Visual C++ Projects.
(b) In the Templates: window, select Win32 Project.
(c) In the Name: box, enter the name of your program.
(d) In the Location: box, enter a path for your project.
(e) In the Solution: box, you can enter the name of a directory for your project. It is
probably better to say that you don’t want this option.
(f) Click OK to ļ¬nish this dialogue. VC++ will open an Application Wizard.

3. In the Application Wizard window:
(a) Click Application Settings.
(b) Under Application Type:, select Console application.
(c) Under Additional Options:, check Empty Project.
(d) Click Finish.

4. You should now have, at top right, a window called Solution Explorer. Your project
name appears as the root of a tree.

5. Right click on the project name, and select Add/Add new item from the drop-down
menu. (The second icon on the main tool-bar has the same eļ¬€ect.) This should open a new
window called Add New Item.

6. In the Add New Item window, select C++ File (.cpp). Provide a name for your
source ļ¬le in the box provided and click Open. This should give you a blank window in which
to enter your code. If you see default code written by Microsoft, you have done something
wrong.

7. Enter your code into the source code window.

8. Select Build/Build Solution (or press ctrl-shift-b) to compile your program.

9. Select Debug/Start without debugging (or press ctrl-F5) to run your program.

If you have already have a C++ ļ¬le and you awnt to use it in a project, carry out the ļ¬rst four steps
as above. Instead of step 5, click on Project/Add existing item and select the ļ¬le(s) you
want in your project.

Putimage function in c

putimage function outputs a bit image onto the screen. Declaration:- void putimage(int left, int top, void *ptr, int op); putimage puts the bit image previously saved with getimage back onto the screen, with the upper left corner of the image placed at (left, top). ptr points to the area in memory where the source image is stored. The op argument specifies a operator that controls how the color for each destination pixel on screen is computed, based on pixel already on screen and the corresponding source pixel in memory. c smiling face animation This animation using c draws a smiling face which appears at random position on screen. See output below the code, it will help you in understanding the code easily. C programming code #include<graphics.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdlib.h>   main() { int gd = DETECT, gm, area, temp1, temp2, left = 25, top = 75; void *p;   initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");   setcolor(YELLOW)...

C++ Program to find the sum, difference, product and quotient of two integers

#include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> void main() {   clrscr();   int x = 10;   int y = 2;   int sum, difference, product, quotient;   sum = x + y;   difference = x - y;   product = x * y;   quotient = x / y;   cout << "The sum of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << sum << "." << endl;   cout << "The difference of " << x << " & " << "y <<  is " << difference << "." << endl;   cout << "The product of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << product << "." << endl;   cout << "The quotient of " << x << " & " << y << " is " << quotient << "." << endl;   getch(); }

What are selection statements in C++ ? If and Switch

There are several statements that we can use in C++ programming that help in choosing a set of instructions for using the code depending upon an expression truth value.  What are Selection Statements in C++? As mentioned above there are several statements that we can use to choose a set of pre-defined instructions within a program in any section of the program as per the need. These are called selection statements in C++  In C++ Program there are two types of Selection statements  1. If  2. Switch  The If Statement of C++ To understand "if statement" let's look at an example.  Example - If you have 10 rupees then you can buy the chocolate.  Here, there is a condition in buying chocolate, if you have 10 rupees then only you can buy it.  This shows that the If is a condition which can be true or false, If it is false it won't be executed, in this example, if you don't have 10 rupees i.e. the condition is false you cant buy the chocolate.  So, I...
