Thanks for the video!

Is there any difference between ' "\n" ' and ' << endl; '?

[programmonger]

@NNOTM Essentially there's no difference.. the "endl" command is a bit better to use because it also clears the stream but that's a more advanced concept you won't have to worry about till much later. Especially if you're just writing command applications right now :) Hope that helped!

I haven't checked out your other vids yet, but this one was really easy for a beginner like myself to follow. I appreciate you taking the time to make this.

[programmonger]

@converse17able Good! I'm glad it was easy for you :) If you have any questions or suggestions just let me know :)

hi! i think your tutorial is great but i have a problem. i am using x code but after typing the code i am not able to press the run button. help please! thank you :)

[programmonger]

@aaronsheah911 Is it just greyed out? That's strange since you should be able to push run right when you start a new project. Are you sure you're going under File>New>New Project> Mac OS X > Application > Command Line Tool and then C++ as the type.

umm.....sir how to solve the "binaries not found error "

[MilkWithAnF]

Can you briefly describe what all the different templates are for?

[miwolverine94]

My hello world says it built successfully, but when i click run nothing comes up in the debug area at the bottom where it says all output. Any ideas?

[MIKEDYNAMIC]

I'm a complete noob to all this. I found this lesson actually understandable not like a lot of videos. Thank you.
