    This looks fault-free, and seems to have run without error! I don't know where the "Hello world" output went though? On that Output tab you have the Show output from combobox set to Debug, you may have to set that to something else to see/hear the program output?

    How do I do that, I wonder? After I make the "Hello World" program, what do I do next?

      Ignore my comment about the Debug tab, I think. The question is: when you run the program, it should output Hello world!, where does that output go to? Does it maybe open a console window, send it there, and then close it as soon as your program finishes, all of which would be near "instantaneous"? It may depend on your project type, I don't know. You may need hep on this from VS C++ people here....

        When you run your program (Ctrl + F5), a window should pop up and that window should contain the words "Hello world!". The window will close if you press any key while the window has focus.

        Did JAWS read the contents of that window to you?

          This is what the output window looks like in a screenshot. 0_1541609206448_6d656a50-ae21-4c35-b9e3-89f42a2c7ce5-image.png
          What is the meaning of this message?

            "The program '[2880] Hello World!.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0)."

            It's just Visual Studio letting you know good news! It's telling you that you just ran your program executable (Hello World!.exe), it ran to completion and exited, and it returned an "exit code" of 0 (which is good, is what your code does, but which you don't care about).

            My question still remains, however. When that program ran it sent the string Hello World! to its "output" (that's the purpose of this program). Where did that "output" go? (I don't use Visual Studio, and with your project type, so I don't know. @JKSH said earlier:

            Did JAWS read the contents of that window to you?

            So how does this behave for you? Did you get to hear about that output? Did you press a key to close a window which had opened?

                  JAWS doesn't show anything in the Command Prompt. If the text was shown, I'd be able to read it with the left and right arrow keys.

                    At this point, wait for somebody helpful to try just what you have in Visual Studio and explain what it is they see about where the output goes.

                      This user (KrolPolski) found that arrow keys don't work in the Command Prompt for JAWS, but another user (Graham87) described a workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/8zf1f1/using_a_command_prompt_with_jaws/

                      See if you can get JAWS to read something on the Command Prompt before it closes. The Command Prompt should contain the text, "Hello world!"

                      If you still have no luck with JAWS, does the Microsoft Narrator work?

                        JAWS doesn't show anything in the Command Prompt. If the text was shown, I'd be able to read it with the left and right arrow keys.

                        This user (KrolPolski) found that arrow keys don't work in the Command Prompt for JAWS, but another user (Graham87) described a workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/8zf1f1/using_a_command_prompt_with_jaws/

                        See if you can get JAWS to read something on the Command Prompt before it closes. The Command Prompt should contain the text, "Hello world!"

                        If you still have no luck with JAWS, does the Microsoft Narrator work?

                          Well, that's it for "Hello World": you've done it! (And very well done!) You have written a program, compiled it, and run it successfully with the expected output.

                          What you do now is up to you :) If you mean you want to turn to Qt you'd have to install it, I don't know what you intended to do.

                            I wonder if I could make Qt programs with Visual Studio. Or is that just for C++?

                              You can integrate Visual Studio with Qt to develop programs, or you can use Qt Creator as your "IDE" (Integrated Development Environment). I don't know whether previous discussions have indicated a preference for which one for you.

                                I think from what I've experienced so far, Visual Studio is the more accessible one for me. That being said, how would I make Qt programs with Visual Studio?

                                  I use JAWS (Job Access With Speech).

                                  JAWS does work with Visual Studio: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d9b295e6-fa48-4c44-8129-37ccf55689f9/is-visual-studio-compatable-with-any-screen-readers-for-example-jaws-nvda-or-zoomtext-i-am

                                  @Annabelle said in Qt Programming Language:

                                  Is there a web site I can go to in order to learn more about these concepts you explain? I've tried http://www.learncpp.com, but what's there doesn't seem to focus on some of the code you explained.

                                  All the concepts I mentioned are discussed in http://www.learncpp.com.

                                  • Strings are in chapters 4, 6, and 17.
                                  • Variables are in chapters 1, 2, and 4.
                                  • Literals are in chapter 2.
                                  • Enumerations are in chapter 4.
                                  • Assignment and comparison operators are in chapter 1 (specifically, section 1.5).
                                  • if statements are in chapters 2 and 5.

                                  At the very least, work through all of chapter 0, all of chapter 1, section 2.1, and section 2.6. After that, search for the concepts I mentioned before.

                                  This will take time (a few weeks at least), but it will be worth it.

                                  All the best with learning C++!

                                  Do you remember the plan? Your task is to learn the basics of C++ first, without Qt.

                                  First, try to modify the code to make the Command Prompt say something other than "Hello world!". For example, try to make it say, "Hi Annabelle!"

                                    This user (KrolPolski) found that arrow keys don't work in the Command Prompt for JAWS, but another user (Graham87) described a workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/8zf1f1/using_a_command_prompt_with_jaws/

                                    See if you can get JAWS to read something on the Command Prompt before it closes. The Command Prompt should contain the text, "Hello world!"

                                    If you still have no luck with JAWS, does the Microsoft Narrator work?

                                    I ran it again, and in the Command Prompt, I got:
                                    "Hello World! Press any key to continue..."

                                    Great! That means JAWS can read the outputs of your programs.

                                    What do I do next?

                                    Do you remember the plan? Your task is to learn the basics of C++ first, without Qt.

                                    First, try to modify the code to make the Command Prompt say something other than "Hello world!". For example, try to make it say, "Hi Annabelle!"

                                    After that, continue working through the learncpp.com tutorial.

                                    I wonder if I could make Qt programs with Visual Studio. Or is that just for C++?

                                    C++ is a programming language, while Qt is a library for C++. You use the C++ language to write programs with the Qt library.

                                    This is why learning the basics of C++ is an important step to achieve your goal of making Qt programs.

                                    Would I put "Hi Annabelle!", in the spot of code where it would usually say "Hello World"? I'm confused!

                                      Yes indeed! You should not be confused.

                                      I had not realised you were working through a learn C++ tutorial. That is an excellent idea. Moving onto Qt now would be a huge step --- you have to learn to walk before you can run!

                                      @JKSH is getting you to just modify some existing, working code to do something slightly different. That happens all the time in programming.

                                      Get it working with the new message instead of the present one. Then, how about making it output two lines instead of one? After it has said the new Hi Annabelle!, make it say Bye bye now. That is going to require a second std::cout line after the existing one, isn't it? You can either type that in from scratch, or to avoid typing you could copy & paste your existing line and then change the string in the middle of the line. I don't know how easily your interface allows you to copy & paste, it's up to you.

                                          I ended up having to make a separate project, as when I put "Hi Annabelle!" and "Bye now." into the original project, it still displayed "Hello World!" in the resulting Command Prompt.
