Thread: Seeing results of my code in Xcode... totally new please help

Hello all and thank you in advance. I have installed Xcode tools and I'm trying to learn how to create applications that just do simple things so that as I code programs to learn C, I can physically see the results of what I have coded. I am having trouble doing this with Xcode tools. I have been struggling with this for a while and here is where I am:

Xcode tools > New Project > Command line utility, Standard tool

This creates my C document and the source file:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    // insert code here...
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

Now I know I need to create a NIB file of sorts to physically display the "Hello, World!" but I do not know how to do this. Thank you.

You can see the console within the Xcode debugger by going to the Run menu and choosing "Console" to show the output window.

I don't know anything about NIBs yet though.

I have to jet, so I don't know why I even reply at all... BUT, did you consult the manual to this program or IDE or API or whatever Xcode is?

Master5001--

Yeah, I've struggled with that for quite a while. The thing is written in language that I don't understand. This is my first programming undertaking, and it seems like I need a pretty in depth knowledge of this language and its features before I can even understand the help documents. It's frustrating.

Rags to riches--

Thank you SO much for that tip. I'm sure I'll learn more about this compiler over time, but that was exactly what I needed to be able to test my stuff and learn!

Thanks, rags to riches. (I went through registration process so that I could thank you.)

Glad I was able to help
