A Full Example

• I have designed a program in C++ that will provide a greeting.

• #include <iostream>
  #incldue <string>
  
  using namespace std;
  
  const string SALUTE {"Hello"};
  int main() {
      string name,
             greeting;
  
      cout << "Please enter your name =>";
      cin >> name;
      cout << endl;
  
      greeting = SALUTE +  name;
  
      cout << greeting << endl;
   
      return 0;
  }
      

• We will normally start much lower, ie algorithm or specification, but this will do for now.
• I am going to work on a local machine and transfer this to windows.
  • Make a directory where I am going to save the local file.
  • You might want to make a classes directory
  • Then a cmac1200 directory inside of that
  • Then a demo directory inside of that.
• First I need to create the file.
  • I will use notepad++ to do this.
  • Make sure to save this in the right directory locally.
  • Keep it open, we will be back.
• I will then use winscp to transfer the file to cslab103
  • Again, I will want to make sure I know where the file is.
  • Change to SharedFiles
  • Make a directory here
    • Organization is key.
    • You might want to make a cmac1200 directory
    • Then a demo directory inside of that.
  • Then drag and drop the file from the local machine to the remote machine.
  • Keep Winscp open, we will be back.
• Finally I want to compile and execute the program
• I will use putty to log into cslab 103
  • Once there, use cd to change directories
    • cd dirname
    • cd will change to home directory
    • cd .. will change one level up.
  • Use ls to see directory names
  • Use pwd to figure out where you are.
  • Use g++ -o filename filename.cpp to compile your program.
