Start C/C++

Compile from Command-Line

You may compile from the command-line if you wish, but will need Eclipse (or another IDE) for debugging.

Basic command to compile:
```
g++ -o executableName <file>.cpp ...
```
Basic command to run:
```
./executableName
```

Install Eclipse for C++

Instructions from Eclipse: Install Eclipse for C++.

Click on the p2 software repository link that matches your version of Eclipse.
Start Eclipse, then select Help --> Install --> Available Software.
Copy the URL from step 1 and paste it into the Work with: field.
Select the defaults and Finish.
More instructions if needed.

Make sure you can compile, run, and debug:

Restart Eclipse and look at the "C/C++ Development" Overview and complete the "Before You Begin" and "Getting Started" steps for your platform.
Create your Hello World project as a C++ project.
Edit your Preferences --> C/C++ --> Code Style --> Formatter. Of the presets, I recommend GNU.
Build and run HelloWorld.
Run as a Local C/C++ Application - your output is in the Console window.
Debug it - add a break point in the cout statement.

Due by the end of Friday Lab

Create another project (as a Hello World C++ project).

Call it playc.
Update the main() in your src file called playc.cpp in your src directory.
Create a directory called include at the same level as your src directory.
Create a header file called playc.h in your include directory.
In your header file, type in this function prototype:
In your source file, type in this code:

When you have it finished, submit it via Autolab. In your zip-file, include a file called play.out that has the output of running your program. It should be at the top level, with the src and include directories underneath, and each containing the proper .h and .cpp file(s).
