Important configuration

Since the program we made uses C++ and not C, there are some changes you have to do.

1. Open CodeBlocks, then choose "Settings" in the toolbar.

2. Then choose "Compiler..."

3. Proceed to remove ALL the checked boxes, and make sure only "Have g++ follow the C++ 14 ISO C++ language standard [-std=c++14] is checked ON (this makes it so you can run .cpp files and not only .c)

4. Finish off by clicking "OK".

You are now able to run our program in CodeBlocks
