g++: Display version.
$ g++ --version
try on your machine
The command "g++ --version" is used to display the version information of the GNU C++ compiler (g++).
Here's a breakdown of what each component means:
-
"g++": This refers to the GNU C++ compiler. The compiler translates C++ source code files into machine-readable object code files.
-
"--version": This is an option that instructs the compiler to display its version information. When this option is used, g++ will output the version number of the compiler.
By executing "g++ --version" in the command line or terminal, you will see the version number of the g++ compiler installed on your system.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
