Hi,
For debugging this... right click on your visual studio solution and click 'Properties'. Go down to 'Build Events' and add a 'Pre-Build Event' and add the following two lines:
echo Debugging Path: $(TargetPath)
echo Executable Path: $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)
These should always be the same. The paths will be in your build output.
Follow the instructions given by Richard MacCutchan and only change the 'Output Directory' located in the 'General' property page. I have a feeling that you mistakenly changed the 'Linker->Output File'. If I am correct... change it back to the default value of '$(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)' and follow his instructions.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Go to the next node in Properties named Debugging, and change the Command entry from $(TargetPath) to the same path as you previously changed, followed by $(TargetFileName); you may need a backslash in front.
But all of this begs the question: why? You are just storing up trouble for the future by not sticking to the defaults.

I created a poll to find out what IDE developers use when working with C/C++.
I will publish the results as soon as I get a number of answers which is statistically relevant.
Feel free to comment here why you use a particular IDE after voting.

vim, because is the fastest one. 
|
|
|
|

I would not consider Vim an IDE, but I use it for quick tests and while running this poll I found out a massive amount of developers use it!
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it is not.
Why did you include it, then?
Still it is one of my favourite development tools.
|
|
|
|
|
As I said many people use and consider it an IDE, especially when combined with several plugins.
Also, the poll is not about what I think/use, it's about what people use.

emacs, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2017, eclipse, notepad even.

VS6 at work, and VS2017 Community at home.

HOT DAMN!!! 
Must be working on really important legacy code to keep using VS6 ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Are you developing commercial products with VC6?

Hmmm,
You are working at IBM now? I thought you were at Pinnacle Business Systems. I remember e-mailing you there many years ago when you needed help with a CEdit derived class.

Still am. We own the AJS product that IBM sells.

Respect!
I use VS2017 and still miss the old good VS6! 
|
|
|
|
|
My preferences:
Visual Studio 2017 on Windows
CLion on Linux
|
|
|
|
|
Mostly I use Visual Studio, but once in a while Eclipse too does the job for me.
|
|
|
|
|
Code::Blocks
Wont touch VS any more unless I need to debug something - that pig of a thing is far, far too slow nowadays.

I have the basic level knowledge of pointers, arrays and recursion's.
But i it is really confusing and hard to implement in programming, like when returning a multi-dimensional array from a user-defined function to the main, and problems like that. I surfed through the net but did not get enough questions to practice these concepts neither did get any books that i can practice from.
So it would be really helpful if i can get some recommendations for the books or even websites from where i can practice.
THANK YOU.

You may find tons of reference (and dereference) material on pointers and the like, just Googling.

The issue you may be having is you are searching for something very specific. Broaden your search. Instead of searching for a two- or three-dimension array, just focus on arrays in general. Visually, you might look at them something like:
int arr[5];
int arr[3][5];
int arr[2][3][5];

They're all pointers, and pointers are simply an address in memory.
Everyone is different, but for me, the best way to really understand a C++ concept is to write a small console program and experiment using the scientific method--that is, I hypothesize how something should work, write simple code to test that hypothesis and refine. (Sometimes, I open a disassembly view in debug mode, but that may understandably be even more confusing for many.)
Edit: A word of warning. Don't return a pointer to an object allocated on the called function's stack. While the data it points to may be valid immediately after the call, it will likely become corrupt with the next function call.
