Command to compile a programName.cpp file

Make sure you are in the same directory as the programName.cpp file and in the terminal type:

g++ -std=c++11 -O2 -Wall programName.cpp -o programName.out

Understanding different terms in above command:

• g++: tells the computer the given command is for g++ compiler.
• -std=c++11: the compiler follows C++11 standard, you can set it to -std = c++14 or -std=c++17 based on what you want to use.
• -O2: Optimizes the code
• -Wall: shows warnings about possible errors
• programName.cpp: refers to the c++ file to be compiled
• -o programName.out: creates a executable file of the suggested name( here programName.exe).

Note: The name of cpp file and executable file need not be same.
