💻 About This C++ Online Executor

The CodeUtility C++ Executor lets you write and run C++ code directly in your browser - no installation or compiler setup needed. It’s powered by a secure sandbox that supports real C++ standards from C++11, C++14, C++17, up to the latest version.

This tool uses a real C++ compiler running in the cloud to compile and execute your code, ensuring accurate and consistent behavior across versions. You can freely experiment with core C++ concepts like variables, functions, loops, conditionals, and object-oriented programming.

Whether you’re preparing for interviews, learning modern C++ features, or verifying algorithm logic, the CodeUtility C++ Executor provides a simple yet powerful environment to run code instantly from any device.

More than a code runner

Use a multi-file editor, an isolated execution terminal, runtime-specific libraries, persistent workspaces, sharing, and real-time collaboration from the same executor.

How to use this executor?

Choose a runtime, open or create a file, write your code, and select Run. Output appears in the terminal, while signed-in users can keep files in a workspace, install libraries, and collaborate through shares.

  1. Select a version and edit the current file or open another workspace file.
  2. Run the code, provide input in the terminal when requested, and review saved run history.
  3. Use libraries, workspace tools, sharing, and chat when your task needs more than one snippet.

💡 C++ Basics & Examples You Can Try Above

1. Declaring Variables and Constants

C++ requires you to declare the type of each variable. Use const to define read-only values that cannot be changed after initialization. 

int age = 30;
double pi = 3.14159;
char grade = 'A';
std::string name = "Alice";
bool isActive = true;

// Constants
const int MAX_USERS = 100;
const std::string COMPANY = "CodeUtility";

// Attempting to modify a const will cause a compile-time error
// MAX_USERS = 200; // ❌ error

2. Conditionals (if / switch)

Use if, else if, else for branching. Use switch for multiple values.

int x = 2;
if (x == 1) {
    std::cout << "One\n";
} else if (x == 2) {
    std::cout << "Two\n";
} else {
    std::cout << "Other\n";
}

// Switch-case
switch (x) {
    case 1:
        std::cout << "One\n";
        break;
    case 2:
        std::cout << "Two\n";
        break;
    default:
        std::cout << "Other\n";
}

3. Loops

Use for, while, and do-while to repeat code blocks.

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    std::cout << i << "\n";
}

int n = 3;
while (n > 0) {
    std::cout << n << "\n";
    n--;
}

4. Arrays

Arrays store multiple elements of the same type.

int numbers[3] = {10, 20, 30};
std::cout << numbers[1] << "\n";

5. Array/Vector Manipulation

Use std::vector for dynamic arrays.

#include <vector>

std::vector nums = {1, 2, 3};
nums.push_back(4);
nums.pop_back();

for (int n : nums) {
    std::cout << n << " ";
}

6. Console Input/Output

Use std::cin for input and std::cout for output.

std::string name;
std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
std::cin >> name;
std::cout << "Hello, " << name << "\n";

7. Functions

Functions group reusable logic. Use parameters and return types.

int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

std::cout << add(3, 4);

8. Maps

std::map stores key-value pairs like dictionaries.

#include <map>

std::map ages;
ages["Alice"] = 30;
std::cout << ages["Alice"];

9. Exception Handling

Use try and catch to handle runtime errors.

try {
    throw std::runtime_error("Error occurred");
} catch (const std::exception& e) {
    std::cout << e.what();
}

10. File I/O

Use fstream to read from and write to files.

#include <fstream>

std::ofstream out("file.txt");
out << "Hello File";
out.close();

std::ifstream in("file.txt");
std::string line;
getline(in, line);
std::cout << line;
in.close();

11. String Manipulation

C++ strings support methods like length(), substr(), and find().

std::string text = "Hello World";
std::cout << text.length();
std::cout << text.substr(0, 5);
std::cout << text.find("World");

12. Classes & Objects

C++ supports object-oriented programming using classes.

class Person {
  public:
    std::string name;
    Person(std::string n) : name(n) {}
    void greet() { std::cout << "Hi, I'm " << name; }
};

Person p("Alice");
p.greet();

13. Pointers

A pointer stores the memory address of another variable. Use & to get an address, and * to dereference (access the value at the address). 

int x = 10;
int* ptr = &x;

std::cout << "Value of x: " << x << "\n";
std::cout << "Address of x: " << ptr << "\n";
std::cout << "Value from pointer: " << *ptr << "\n";

// Modify x through pointer
*ptr = 20;
std::cout << "Updated x: " << x << "\n";

🐞 How to Debug %{language} Code Online

Use the online %{language} debugger to find runtime and logic errors without installing a compiler or desktop IDE. Server mode compiles with debug symbols and runs the program under GDB.

  1. Set one or more breakpoints beside the line numbers.
  2. Select Debug to compile and pause at the first matching breakpoint.
  3. Inspect the current line, call stack, and variables.
  4. Use Continue, Step Over, Step Into, or Step Out to control execution.
  5. Select Stop to end the debugging session.

Start with a small reproducible example and place a breakpoint just before the value or control flow becomes unexpected.
