Hi guys. I have a simple C++ program in my notepad. It is saved as google.txt
How do I run it? Please. Can't wait to run to coffee shop and run my program.
 
You'll need to compile it first. Use a program such as Dev-C++.

One question: Why is it you know how to write programs but not how to compile them?
 
totally ignorant but eager to learn and free!

I was made to believe that the notepad will do. As long as I click "all files?"
and then run. My C++ was installed by IT in office. It says "Borland" in my programs. The fact that he left me on my own without giving me further instructions, does that presume I have already a compiler. Notepad is a compiler isn't it.

No, Notepad in itself is not a compiler (as far as I know). However, the Borland application you speak of is a compiler. You will have to compile the C++ program you have written through the Command Prompt. Follow this guide:
