I've seen some responses to things like this, but I'm still not sure what to do. I'm proficient in Java with Eclipse, and am starting C++ with XCode. I'm using a textbook, so I'd like to organize my workspace with one .cpp file for each chapter, but when I do this and try to run one of the files, it always defaults to the first one. How can I have multiple .cpp files in a workspace and run different ones? This might be a fundamentally different thing than in java where you could just select the class, and if it had a main method run it from there, but any help would be appreciated. My workspace setup currently looks like this: https://i.sstatic.net/NOVNM.png

    In c++ you'll need a main() function to run, you can't choose an arbitrary class or function to 'run'. Commented Feb 2, 2014 at 0:52

What πάντα ῥεῖ says is right. To put it more bluntly, you probably don't want a single Xcode project with a different .cpp file per chapter of your text. (You can do it that way, but it involves a bunch of setup that will be confusing to you as a newbie with C++ and Xcode.) It would probably be easier if you made a separate Xcode project for each chapter.
