Suggestions for converting a Visual C++ program to g++.
-------------------------------------------------------

I just worked through the conversion process with a student.
Some things we noted were:

- Visual C++ may not include a newline in the last line
of the .cpp file.  You should add an extra blank line
at the end of all your .cpp and .h files.
- If that does not make the warning about "incomplete
last line" go away, look at the file in replit
and add a blank line to it.

- By default, Visual C++ adds a line
	#include "stdafx.h"
to your program that includes various headers.  This line
should be commented out.  For g++, you must explicitly 
show the #includes that you need.  At the beginning of 
your main file you should have something like:

	#include <iostream>	// needed for cin and cout
	#include <iomanip>	// needed for setw 
	#include <fstream>	// needed for file input output
	#include <string>	// allows you to use the string type
	using namespace std;

	
	#include <cstdlib>	// C standard library functions (atoi).

Sometimes you may want more C language libraries ...
	#include <cstdio>	// C standard input and output (scanf, printf)
	#include <cstring>	// C string library, which is != <string>.

You should also add this information at the top of your other .cpp
files.  You can delete lines that you know to be irrelevant.  For
example, if you are not using the C string library functions,
you don't have to include <cstring>.

Your .cpp files should not include other .cpp files.  You should 
only include .h files.

To compile a program with several files together, use:

	g++ file1.cpp file2.cpp file3.cpp -o myprog

or if all the .cpp files in the directory are relevant:

	g++ *.cpp -o myprog

------------------------------

- If your program compiles cleanly with g++, you can also
try clang (another compiler) to see if it finds some errors
that the other compiler missed.  However, it is sufficient if 
your program compiles and runs correctly with either compiler!

- If you have any other suggestions for helping to convert
from one environment to the other, please let me know and
I will add them to this list. Send email via UR Courses.

- If you absolutely can't get your program to compile on
replit, you should submit it anyhow and put in your compile.txt
that it has to be compiled on Visual C++.  I will discuss this
problem with the marker.
