Thread: quick question on compiling

borland builder 5.5. I have a question on compiling. I have all the source written out in a .cpp file. I am wondering, what's the best way to compile and run the program? Should I compile and run it at the same time, or create an EXE file and then run that?

Also, in the builder, when I run the compiler, like this:

cpp32.exe program.cpp

will it just compile it, or will it compile it and run it, or will it just compile it and link it automatically?

Thanks for any advice. I'm a little confused about everything.
