How to Program in C with Xcode on Mac (VIDEO)

Xcode is not just a development environment for programming in Objective-C. It also lets you program in other programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Pascal, Ada and Perl, since it includes the compilers for these languages.

If you’re lucky enough to have a Mac (for work, obviously), use Xcode to program in C and C++, since you won’t waste time setting up other development environments that let you program and compile in C and C++. On the other hand, to program in other languages like Java, Python, PHP, etc., you’re better off using the Eclipse or Aptana development environments, since they are much more complete and easier to use and install.

Below is a video showing how to create a C project with Xcode, and how to compile and test it:

The test code used in this video tutorial is below:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    printf("Hello, World!n");

    // We do a multiplication and print it to the screen
    int multipliplicacion = 0;
    multipliplicacion = 6*5;
    printf("Resultado de la Multiplicacion: %d n",multipliplicacion);

    // We print the numbers from 0 to 19 to the screen
    printf("nNumeros del 0 al 19, imprimidos de uno en uno n");
    for (int i=0; i<20; i++) {
        printf("%d ",i);
    }
    return 0;
}
