How to compile a c++ program using the terminal on a mac

[asilvester635]

I'm currently learning c++, and I have trouble compiling it via my Macbook pro's terminal.

Below is a simple code that I wrote.

#include <cstdio>
//using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{

 printf("Hello World!!!\n");

}

This is what I typed in the terminal: g++ -c -Werror hello.cc

My source code (named hello.cc) is stored in a folder called Hello program, which is stored in a folder called c++ programs, which is located on my desktop. When I type in g++ -c -Werror hello.cc into the terminal, this is what I get.

Conrados-MBP:~ conrados$ g++ -c -Werror hello.cc

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'hello.cc'

clang: error: no input files
