Hello there,

Sorry if this post has once been POSTED (I couldn't find a related one).

I am new to Visual studio 2013, and I have been trying out the basics of Object Oriented Programming in C++ for class and object. I tried to run my code on VS, building was success, but when it comes to debugging, it says the system cannot find the file specified, ie project.exe. here's my code that I tried from a book:

// program declares a class Point for var x & y

#include

class Point
{
private:
int x,y; //point coordinate
public:
void setX(int val);
void setY(int val);
int getX();
}; // class Point

void Point::setX(int val)
{x=val;};

void Point::setY(int val)
{y=val;};

void Point::getX()
{return x;};

void Point::getY()
{return y;};


//this serves as driver (main) for class Point
//initiates the class Point and CALL methods from class Point

int main()
{

//create a new instance of a class Point
Point apoint;
int x,y;

cout<<"Type a nunmber for x:";
cin>> x;
cout<<"Type a number for y:";
cin>> y;

//invoke methods
apoint.setX(x);
apoint.setY(y);

//display output via methods getX & getY

cout<<"\n The numbers from the Point object are x = "<cout<<"\n y = "<
return 0;
}

What could be the problem? Once in a while I also encounter this problem when I tried out C codes. Is there any setting in VS that I should change? Or anything that I should include in my code?

Thank you so much!! This i only a generalized response.
MS Visual Studio programs often have two objectives that are mutually elusive.
One is to produce code ready for real-time debugging.
The other is to create lean code for distribution to end-users.
In other words, the debug features add to the payload.

Check you documentation about how to prepare code for debugging.
