Xcode not showing anything in console with C++

I was just trying to use Xcode for a very small C++ project, and wanted to see

some prints in the console, the thing is I did not see anything.

I tried to run a very simple code instead:

#include <iostream>

int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) {
std::cout << "Hello, World!\n";
printf("here");
return 0;
}

but still, nothing in Xcode console.

any idea why?

EDIT:

adding snapshot of the program:

xcode

EDIT 2:

found this,

and it's working:

maybe you need to add "\n" after "here" I don't know why but it works for me. Hope someone can explain it for me.

It sounds like when you created a new project (File > New > Project... ), you selected "C/C++ Library". Since libraries don't output to the console directly, that explains why Run was greyed out for you and running it doesn't output to the console.

Instead, you need to create a new project and select "Command Line Tool" template in the Application section, and build your program from there.

Your image doesn't show that you ran the program, only that you built it. Look at the Log Navigator (the last one, ⌘7) and see if there are any logs for 'Debug one' after 'Build one'. To run the program use Product > Run or ⌘R.

Try pressing Shift+Command+R. That should compile your program and open it in a terminal window.

That should work fine. Are you sure that you had the console displayed? Try command-shift-C or choose View->Debug Area->Activate Console.

If that doesn't help, try running your program from a Terminal window. Does the program display the expected output?
