Compile and run C program in Xcode 3.1.2

Did you setup the project to create a command-line program or application?

If it's an application, you need to create an interface for it and link the output of your code to a window in your interface.

If you're just doing a command line program, after building it, go into the build folder inside your project folder, and you should find the executable. Open a terminal window, drag in the executable file and hit return.

Ok, thanks for the tip. I don't think I was specifying that this was a command line utility. Also Johnny said to use Console and run from there so I could see my output. That works awesome too, but I'm not getting the result that I believe I should be getting. Can you take a look at my code and tell me if I've missed something? I've been staring at it for the past hour and can't figure it out.

* This is my first program using Xcode.  It asks for two numbers, adds them together and gives the user the answer. */
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int
main ()
{
int num1, num2, num3;
 
printf("\nThis program will add two numbers and give you the result.\n");
printf("Please enter the first number: ");
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("\nPlease enter the second number: ");
scanf("%d", &num2);
num3 = num1 + num2;
printf("\nThe two numbers that you entered equal %d, num3");
 
return(0);
 
}

Oh my gosh!!!!! Am I really that blind??? I had one '"' out of place and it was wreaking havoc on my program. Thanks Epyon9283

Ok, now here's another question. I know this is a command line program, but could I make this, or other command line programs into a graphical type of progam/interface? I guess what I'm saying is, could I use interface builder somehow?

Unfortunately, you're example wouldn't translate directly into use with IB. It'd be best to rewrite it in Objective-C from the start. I'd recommend heading over to cocoadevcentral.com and checking out their tutorials and if you really want to get into it, check out "Programming in Objective-C" by Kochan and "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Hillegass, both of which are excellent in my opinion.
