Writing source programs (Windows systems)

If you want to create new source programs in C or C++, then it is best to use the syntax-sensitive editor of the Visual Studio. You can, of course, create your programs with any common ASCII editor or modify existing programs with the same.

Proceed as follows to create your programs with Visual C++:

1. Open your project by double-clicking on the utmproject.sln file in the Explorer, for example. This starts the Visual Studio.

2. Select the Project item in the menu bar and click Add New Item.

   

3. In the Installed Templates group, select the item Code, in the central group, select the item C++ File (.cpp) and enter the name of your source program at the bottom of the screen under Name.

4. Click on Add. This saves the file automatically in the project. The editing window opens.

5. Create the source code in the edit window.

6. Close the file with File - Close, thereby saving the changes.
