EED540 Lab Exercise1

This document provides instructions for using the Code::Blocks IDE to create, compile, and run a "Hello World" C++ program. It describes Code::Blocks as a free, open-source C/C++ IDE that supports Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. It outlines the steps to create a new empty file, save it as a C++ source file with a .cpp extension, add the "Hello World" code, compile using the Build menu, and run the program if there are no errors.

Exercise1
Introduction to Code::Blocks
Thursday, March 11, 2021

1 Lab Objectives
In this lab, you will practice:
1. Creating C++ source files using the Code::Blocks IDE
2.Editing, compiling and running a C++ program

2 Code::Blocks
Code::Blocks is a free, open-source, C, C++ and Fortran IDE built to meet the most
demanding needs of its users. It supports many platforms such as Windows, Linux and Mac
OS. It is designed to be very extensible and fully configurable. It is an IDE with all the
features, having a consistent look, feel and operation across platforms. Fig. 1 shows the
screen-shot of Code:Blocks IDE.

2.1 Instructions
The following steps must be followed to create a C++ source file using Code::Blocks. These
steps must be followed for all your future labs and assignments.
1. Go to File and select New and select Empty File from the list
2. An “Untitled” page will be added to the Code::Blocks IDE. The next step is to save the
“Untitled” page as a C++ source file.
3. Click on the Save icon or go to File and click on Save file.
4. A dialog box will appear. Select the path to save in and type the file name. You have to
type in the full file name with the extension. For example lab01.cpp. Note that .cpp is
the C++ source file name extension. After typing the full file name click on Save to
create the C++ source file.
5. Now you can type your C++ source code.
Create your very first C++ program, “Hello World” in Code::Blocks by typing the
following lines of code:

Figure 1: Code::Blocks IDE

1 #include<iostream>

3 usingnamespacestd ;
4
5 intmain ()
6{
7 cout <<"HelloWorld!"<< endl ;
8}
After creating/editing your C++ source file, you can proceed to compile the source file
and to run the compiled version of your program. To compile go to Build on the menu bar
and select Build. The build log at the bottom of the IDE will show whether your program has
compiled successfully. If there are any errors, the build log will display the line number where
there is an error. You need to correct the error if the build log displays errors in your program.
If there is no error in your source file, the build log will display that there are no errors in your
program. You can go ahead to run your compiled program by going to Build and clicking on
Run.
