00:00In this video, we will see how to download and set up Visual Studio.

00:07Open a browser and search for Download Visual Studio.

00:18First link is from Microsoft, so click on it.

00:22It will take you to the Microsoft website.

00:25Here there are various versions of Visual Studio available.

00:29So you can select the first one that is for community and it is a free version for students

00:36and for researchers.

00:37So select the first one, click on free download.

00:48It will start downloading and it will pop up and ask you to select the type of applications

00:56that you are going to develop.

00:59While it is downloading, it will ask you to select the type of applications that you will

01:02be developing.

01:03So you can select desktop application and sign up by entering your email ID and selecting

01:08your country.

01:09Click on the file for installation.

01:12After sign up, you can start installation.

01:16Here the installation starts.

01:20Yes, here it gives options for what purpose you want to download C++.

01:26So you can select desktop development with C++.

01:31So select this option and click on install.

01:43Now it will install Visual Studio for C++.

01:59Once the installation is over, you have to restart your computer.

02:01So restart it.

02:05So the installation of Visual Studio has finished.

02:08Now let us start Visual Studio and develop one first project.

02:13So go to start menu and here I will type Visual Studio.

02:18So this is a Visual Studio 2019.

02:21So click on this one, it has started.

02:26Now here say create new project.

02:30So select this one, right.

02:32So for every program that you write, I suggest you create a new project that is better and

02:37you can have all the projects in one folder.

02:40Next here you have to select the type of the project.

02:43So on the top left, you will find here the language.

02:47So select it as C++, right.

02:50And the platform is Windows, okay, you need not select that one, just you can leave it

02:55as it is for all platform.

02:56If you scroll down, you will find one option that is console app.

03:01So you have to select console app, right.

03:04So all the applications that we are going to develop are console application.

03:07So you always have to select this one, say next.

03:13Now here you have to mention the project name.

03:16So I'll give the project name as my first and you have to select the path.

03:23So you can select the path and then say create.

03:32So project is created.

03:35And here is the sample code, the code is ready.

03:38So already main function is available.

03:40So you can start typing your program here, right.

03:43Already the basic header file or the standard header file is already included, that is iostream.

03:49And hello world program is automatically generated.

03:53Now here on the right hand side, in the solution explorer, or in this window, if you expand

03:58the source file, you will find this my first CPP.

04:02So this is what the file it is showing here, right.

04:08Now if you want to write a program, let's simply I will write one program with the three

04:12variables A, B, C, and then A assign some value and B assign that some value, then C

04:20assign A plus B.

04:26Now I will display this value also standard std cout C and also std endl.

04:41This will add two numbers and display them.

04:43Now here you can see that something is underlined here with red color.

04:47So this shows it's an error.

04:50So this ID will help you to find the errors wherever you are going wrong.

04:55So it's very programmer friendly.

04:56So here actually I have given single colon, so I should write scope resolution.

05:00So double time I have to write colon.

05:03So now this is perfect.

05:05Now let us see how to run.

05:07So here we can go to build menu option on the top and say build solution or build my

05:13first.

05:14So this my first will be built.

05:15So it will be compiled and executable will be created.

05:20Now for running go to debug option and start without debugging.

05:27So debugger I will be showing you in the next video.

05:31So without debugging just we want to run.

05:33So you can also press control F5 for running the program.

05:36So run this one.

05:37Now here it displays the result that is 30, 10 plus 20 is 30 and also hello world.

05:48So that's it.

05:49You can complete the program and you can remove all these comments if you don't like them.

05:54You can type all your programs.

05:55So for every time for every program I suggest you to create a new project and do it and

06:00let the project name be same as the program that you are doing.

06:03That's all.

06:04If you would like to use visual studio this is how you can set up and start using it.
