How to Run C/C++ in Sublime Text?
Learn to run C or CPP in Sublime Text, Lifesaver of Contest Programming
C and C++ are the most powerful programming language in the world. Most of the super fast and complex libraries and algorithms are written in C or C++. Most powerful Kernel programs are also written in C. So, there is no way to skip it.
Most programmers prefer to write code in C or C++ in programming competitions. Tourist is considered the world's top programming contestant of all ages who write code in C++.
During programming competitions, programmers prefer to use a lightweight editor to focus on coding and algorithm design. Vim, Sublime Text, and Notepad++ are the most common editors. Apart from the competition, many software developers and professionals love to use Sublime Text because of its flexibility.
I have discussed the steps we need to complete in this blog post before running a C/C++ code in Sublime Text. We will take the inputs from an input file and print outputs to an output file without using freopen file-related functions in C/C++.
Installing Sublime Text
- For Windows, you can download it from the link.
- For Ubuntu or Debian, we can install it as follows:
— Install the GPG key:
wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -— Now, we are selecting the stable channel to use:
echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list— Update, and install Sublime Text:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text- For macOS, we can download it from this link.
JSON for Package New Build Package in Sublime Text
Our principal focus is to run our codes automatically, taking the inputs from a file without manually typing inputs every time we run our code.
So, we have to add a new build system. We have to go Tools > Build System > New Build System and then add the following code and save the file:
Finally, We can now build our code by pressing Command + B and see the outputs for the inputs of in.txt file into out.txt file.
Note: in.txt , out.txt And the source code should be in the same directory.
