Troubleshoot: Can't See Std::Cout in Visual Studio 2015 C++ Project

**Problem: **I’ve made a C++ project in Visual Studio 2015, but can’t see the std::cout console logs I’ve created.

Solution:

Look in the right place

First, make sure you’re looking in the correct place. When you run your program, you should see a** black console window** appear. Your output will be inside of that.

If you don’t see a black console window, continue to the last bit.

Make sure you’re flushing your logs

Sometimes console logs aren’t pushed unless you flush the stream. You can do this by appending << endl; to the end of each of your logs.

Make sure you have a console app

If you don’t have a console app, VS may not know what to do with your std::couts. You can ensure this by going to Project > Properties > Linker > System > Subsystem and choosing “Console”
