Creating a source file

Files are edited in the source editor that is, by default, located in the editor area to the right of the Project Explorer or source Projects views.

The marker bar on the left margin of the source editor, displays icons for errors, warnings, bookmarks, breakpoints and tasks.

For more information on the marker bar, see Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface information > Views and editors > Editor area.

To create a source file:

1. In the Project Explorer or C++ Projects view, right-click a project, and select New > File.
   
2. In the list of projects, verify that the correct project is selected.
3. In the File name box, type a name followed by the appropriate extension.
4. Click Finish.
   
   
   

   The file will open in the source editor.

5. Enter your code in the editor view.
   
6. Type CTRL+S to save the file.
