Hands-On Robotics Programming with C++

Writing a HelloWorld program with ncurses

Let's now write a simple ncurses program for printing Hello World. I have named this program HelloWorld.cpp. The HelloWorld.cpp program can be downloaded from the Chapter05 folder of the GitHub repository:

#include <ncurses.h>#include <stdio.h>int main(){initscr(); //initializes and clear the screenint keypressed = getch(); if(keypressed == 'h' || keypressed == 'H'){printw("Hello World"); //will print Hello World message}getch();refresh(); endwin(); // frees up memory and ends ncursesreturn 0;}

The program for compiling and running a C++ program using the ncurses library is different from other programs. First, we need to understand the program. After that, we will learn how to compile and run it. ...
