How do i run a c++ file?

Did you compile it? Usually, the output is an EXE

I'm not sure how to compile it

What IDE are you using?

How can i tell?

In what program did you make the file?

Notepad++

Install NppExec plugin. Here is an article which list details windowsbro.blogspot.hu/2012/10/compile-with-notepad-any-language.html

• Use notepad++ to write code (or other IDE)
• Compile to EXE. In the case of notepad++, use NppExec
• Run EXE

Is that all?

Yup
