When you have completed the entering your program and checked it for proper syntax, the building of your executable program can be initiated. The Build operation is a two step process that compiles your program and if there are no errors links the object code created by the compiler with library files to create an executable program. If the program is has correct syntax, the Build should be successful. Messages from the build, including any compile errors, appear in the results window. Finding and correcting syntax errors.
Syntax errors are typical for beginning programmers.
If errors are detected in the Build process, then the errors must be corrected and the Build repeated until all errors are corrected. A pointer will appear on the left of the editor window that points to the line where the error is detected. The cursor will also be located at that line of code. Another method for locating errors is by pressing the F4 key. Each time the F4 key is pressed the pointer moves to the next error location and the corresponding error message is highlighted in the results window.
