<bits/stdc++.h> in MacOS

The stdc++.h file is just a file with a bunch of include. the only thing that you have to do is to put this file in the default location of the c++ import files. Here's a quick way to add it in MacOS.

With XCode installed

create a file named stdc++.h in this path: (you should create bits folder first)

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/bits

Without XCode

create a file named stdc++.h in this path: (you should create bits folder first)

/usr/local/include/bits

Now, simply fill the created file with the content below:

/** @file stdc++.h

// 17.4.1.2 Headers

// C

or you can download the file and put it the right folder:

mkdir /usr/local/include/bits
curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/devmarkpro/94d0b20a87bd0cc5f094a9b98336aa6d/raw/724c53e3210029f7bfd5dfa6254d124791547153/stdc++.h > /usr/local/include/bits/stdc++.h

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

NOTE: You have to repeat these steps each time that you update the XCode Command-line Tools so if you know a permanent solution for this problem, please share it in the comment section.
