Building

Visual Studio will first build the solution before running the program. When it build the solution, all of files needed to run the program are copied into a special folder inside the project directory called bin (binary).

Try right-click at your project on right panel and choose 'Open Folder in File Explorer'. Go ton bin folder and notice there are 2 build configurations, debug and release.

• The debug build configuration does thing like include information that the debugger and profilers need.

• The release build configuration applies compile time optimization to make the code run faster.

Both directories contain the same file and have .exe program to run your project.
