I have created a project in Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition.

This project contains one .cpp file for each assignment like this…

[-]Source Files    \    |-- 233.cpp    |-- test.cpp 

And each file contains definition of main().

Action:CTRL+F5

Error   1   error LNK2005: _main already defined in 233.obj test.obj Error   2   fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found  

How do I compile and see output of each file ?

Thanks.

    You can’t have 2 functions called main() in a single project. What you should do is change the names of the functions, and then call them from a new main() function which would function as a menu.

    If you make them separate projects, you can switch which one to run with Solution Properties -> Startup Project.
