You should have a range of compilers to use. g++ is a good one, but there are many others.

Yes and you won't be sorry. That's the best compiler + IDE you can get for the Mac.

Thanks for the input guys!
I am again stuck with a problem again. I have been using Xcode to write some basic programs and now I am doing an independent study on it with one of my professor. So my professor wanted me to send him object code file of my program but i cant find where it is. It was easy in FORTRAN where i could get it from command prompt but it seems different in Xcode. Any of you guys know how to retrieve object code file in Xcode? Thanks
