THE C++ DEVELOPMENT CYCLE

When you finish designing a program and writing the C++ code that implements your
design, you must compile and execute your program. This three-step process of writing code,
compiling code, and executing code is called the C++ development cycle


Step 1
Write C++ source code
(Notepad)


Source code file
(MyProgram.cpp)


Step 2
Compile source code
(cl MyProgram.cpp)


C++ Object Code
(MyProgram.obj)
And
C++ Executable
(MyProgram.exe)


Step 3
Execute the program
(MyProgram)
