# Views in the C/C++ perspective

# C/C++ Views

The C/C++ views are panels that help you perform the tasks involved in managing C/C++ programs. These views can be added to the perspective for your Eclipse window.

Changing Views:

- You can add views to a perspective. From the menu bar choose Window > Show View and select a new view from one of the categories of views in the Show View dialog.
- To reset the current perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar choose Window > Reset Perspective.

The following views are commonly used in the C/C++ perspective:

Project Explorer
  Shows all of the file system's files under your workspace directory.
Console
  Displays your program's output, as well as the output from your build tools.
Editor

Problems
  If you encounter any errors during a build they will be displayed in the Problems view.
Properties
  Shows the attributes of the item currently selected in a view or an editor.
