1. How will they be able to use the mobile device for programming in c++.

Answer:

The point is that smartphones are just small computers, and all computers primarily run the object module format produced by a C++ compiler. There is nothing that does not or can not run compiled C++ modules. That is ideal.

But the best way to make executable modules for anything is on a large screen device with enough memory for the IDE compiler and linker to work well.

That means you cross-compile in [mepr-show rules=”18938″ unauth=”message”] an IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse on a large workstation, and then download the executable module to the smartphone to run. Visual Studio comes with a built-in smartphone device emulator, so you can run your app before downloading it on the smartphone.

1.1. Identify and describe how they will be able to create c++ programs on their mobile device? You must also include the brand name in you or explanation

Answer:

Best method for this!

1. Install Termux from Playstore! (Termux is Linux Terminal Emulator with many utilities!)
2. Open it, update & upgrade the packages using – apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
3. Now install Clang (C/C++ compiler) using this command – apt-get install -y clang
4. Create a .cpp file using this command – touch <filename>.cpp
5. Now edit this file, I mean add the codings, using nano – apt-get install -y nano and after the edit the file using – nano <filename>.cpp
6. After saving this, compile this source code using – clang <filename>.cpp
7. And the output file will be saved as a.out which you have to execute using – ./a.out

Done!

1.2. What are the limitations of using their mobile devices for programming?

Answer:

1. It is very hard to find a decent app.

2. Even if you find an app you have half of your screen covered by your keyboard.

3. It is very inconvenient to handle big codes on mobile phones. If it is a small program for practice purposes then it’s fine but for large programs, it will be difficult to handle the code.

4. Mobile phones do not provide a good development environment needed for developing software.

5. Typing on a small screen is bad if you wanna be fast. 6.Usually, no fast access to characters like {}[]()”‘#!=*.+/’-.<> etc. So you turn on the symbol bar. And there goes the num of lines you see from 5 to 3.
