compiling with command prompt
Can someone please explain how to compile with this command:
g++ program.cpp -o program
I'm not sure how to use it and what needs to be written before that in command prompt.
thanks!

Are you using linux?
If so, then if GCC is installed that is the command you should run in your terminal window while current dirrectory contains your program.cpp

Use the Command Prompt. You can find it under Accessories in the start menu somewhere. Another way is to press Flag key+R, type cmd and then press enter.
This will show a black window that you can type the command into. If program.cpp is not in the current folder you will have to use the cd command to navigate to the correct folder before running the compiler command.
cd path/to/program/folder/
g++ program.cpp -o program

After I do that I get this:
'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Yes, I have MinGW.
I used a set path command, now when I write "g++ program.cpp -o program" nothing happens

Thats presumably because it worked. There should now be a program.exe inside the folder: Run it from the command prompt.
