5. The new project is made now. To begin producing code, we need a cpp file for our project. On the left of the screen you can see the subwindow: "Solution explorer". In it you see several folders, including the folder: "source files". Right click on this folder and select: "Add", then: "New item".
6. A new window pops up. In the middle check: "C++ file (.cpp)". At the bottom give a name for the new cpp file. Click on the button: "Add".
7. Now you have the project and a cpp file to start coding. In the cpp file you can add your code. If done and you want to compile it, go to menu bar and
select: "Debug", then: "Build solution".
8. To find your .exe you made with your code, go to the folder of your project. In that folder, open the folder: "Debug". In it you will find the .exe file.
Good luck!
