macOS C++ Compiler for Mac? HELP with xcode?

As I recall of 10.7, Lion, Xcode isn't included, in any form, with a new Mac of any type.

I'd like to see the argument stop. She seems nervous enough without all the misinformation being argued. She has something that works from where she started and anything else is more likely to confuse than help.

Wait till her requirements change - if they do.

She may have bought a computer with Lion, in which case she's SOL.

But she already resolved her problem.:)

Unfortunately that doesn't work so well under Lion. Either the machine didn't come with disks (at least the MBAs don't), or the one on disk is the older version (Xcode 3) that isn't really supported for install under Lion.

In this case it was a macbook pro no? In any case, I just thought I should mention it if the only stumbling block was the actual download. If Lion is shipping with Xcode 3, that is completely backwards.

My understanding is that no new Macs ship with the DVDs anymore. I bought a MacPro for work a few months ago and it came with bupkis.

I'm sorry should have been more clear. It's my cynical remark on Apples policy if this is true. It would be more practical in terms of maintenance and so forth if the computer shipped with an OS disk. However shipping with nothing proves an aesthetic point as well as telling how progressive you are, look no disks!

Ahh, yeah I have to agree with you. :(
 
If you download Xcode, but learn to develop C/C++ programs on your Mac using only command-line tools, you will, almost for free, also be learning how to develop programs for most linux servers. This can be a useful skill.
 
You guys are too funny, I dont understand half of what youre talking about. Too smart, too smart. And yeah my macbook pro didnt come with any disks. i think im good for now for what I need the program for, because as far as i can tell about half the class is learning to write the code stuff, so since the semester endsin april it really wont be that in depth. but like i said if i have any more questions ill be posting here :)
 
Let me get this straight. After spending 30+ years programming to become a somewhat competent programmer I could've become a "real" programmer by simply using 'VIM'.

Where we're you when I needed help?

That's not what he said. Real programmers use VIM but all VIM users aren't real programmers. It's a Squares and Rectangles thing. ;)
 
Let me get this straight. You're telling me most 'VIM' users aren't "real" programmers they're just posers!

Wait a minute, that cant be right - this must be a rumors forum of some kind.

All Squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. It doesn't mean all other rectangles are square posers, just that they aren't square.

Obviously, you're not a VIM user and you'd have grasp was I was talking about. :D
 
I'm just going to post this question here and hope for a response, haha.
I'm trying to write a code that converts CAD to USD (assuming 1CAD = 0.98USD) but for some reason that I can't figure out, it isn't working..Here's the code:

Code: 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;

#include <iomanip> 
using std::setprecision;

int main ()
{ 
	double USD = 0, CAD = 0;

	cout << setprecision (2) << fixed; 

	cout << "Enter the amount of CAD: ";
	cin >> CAD;

	CAD = (0.98 * USD); 
	cout << "$" << CAD << " CAD is equal to $" << USD << " USD" << endl;
		
	return 0;

}

So yeah any push in the right direction would be awesome!

CAD = (0.98 * USD);

You get CAD then overwrite it with the following calc.
Anything times zero, which is what you set USD too, is equal to zero.
