How do any application work?
I have very basic knowledge of C and C++ that was taught in college. But all we did was open up a compiler on a browser, and then run a code for a calculator, or a date counter or any simple problem we were given.
What I don't understand is how applications run automatically and how they translate into graphical interfaces where all we ever did was interact with the code through weird compiler text interfaces only.
**Edit:** Sorry if the question sounds too childish
