Compiling in visual studio

[sailornaruto39]

Iam trying to compile in visual studios.But i don't even know where to start.

What button should i press?

Would this be codable?


#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
double dnumber1 = 0.0;
double dnumber2 = 0.0;
double dnumber3 = 0.0;
double daverage = 0.0;

cout << "please enter 3 numbers: " << endl;
cin >> dnumber1;
cin >> dnumber2;
cin >> dnumber3;

daverage = (dnumber1 + dnumber2 + dnumber3) / 3;

cout << "the average of the numbers are: " << daverage << endl << endl;

system("pause");
return 0;

}

Looks fine to me but i wouldn't use any system() expression.

There should be a button that looks like an exclamation mark. It compiles and then runs your Project.

Start by learning how to use it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx

To get started quickly, keep this in mind:

Noobs are often confused by the 'Projects', 'Solutions' and other high level stuff when they just want to write "hello world" but it's very simple.

1. Open MS Visual C++.
2. Start a New Project (that will create a 'Solution' with 1 project (whatever you named it).
3. Right-Click on the Source Files folder in the Solution Explorer (on the left) and select Add... New Item.
4. In the Code category, select C++ File (.cpp), name it too.
5. Write your code in the blank window.
6. Run it with 'Start without debugging' (cntl-F5) so that it keeps your command window open and you can see the results.
