yes, using a compiler

#

ideally, your C++ book should explain that step

would online compliers do the trick

Online compiler compile and run the code on their server. It doesn't produce and execute the binary on your computer

!ide

Fuck

#

There was a command for that.

#

Get an IDE like Visual Studio or Qt Creator. There are a bunch more and opinions vary on which one to use, but those are the easiest to get working.

you should basically not be using online compilers besides just quickly making / sharing stuff for showcase

#

you want a proper IDE for programming

#

you want the debugging tools etc
