Compile a C++ Code in Linux

The steps to compile a C++ program in Linux environment are essentially the same as the compiling in the C except for one diffrence. Instead of using "gcc" we use "g++" compiler to compile our code.Everything else remains the same.

1. Open terminal and navigate to the directory where the source code file is stored.


2. Compile using the following command:


g++ test.cpp
3. Here g++ is the compiler used to compile our file. All C++ files can end with any of the following extension:
.cpp,.C,.cxx,.cc,.cp,CPP,.c++


4. To execute the program use the following command:


./a.out
5. Since we have not used -o flag to name the output file, it is by default named as a.out We can use all the flags in the same way we use in gcc.
