C++ project works, but where is the .app for it? (Newbie question)

Question

Friends, a simple question:
I open xCode 3.0 on Leopard and I make a new project (named "count2") using the command line utility C++ tool and enter the following application:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int i, n;
// Get a number from the keyboard and initialize i.
cout << "Enter a number and press RETURN: ";
cin >> n;
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) // For i = 1 to n,
cout << i << " "; // Print i.
return 0;
The application compiles and runs well.
So my question is, where is the application that I can take from this project, and move to my Applications folder so every time I want to use this application I can simply double click it? I searched for count2.app, but cannot find it.
Thanks amigos, -Migs

Excellent Psycho. I have made a small Xcode tutorial and would like to post it here. Where do you suggest? Following is the text:
C++ Programming on Macintosh OS X Leopard
Many of you will want to get from your C++ textbook to a working application on your Mac quickly. Fortunately the Mac has an extremely powerful integrated design environment (IDE) that is available for free on every Mac that runs OS X, It’s called Xcode Tools. It can develop in many more languages than C++ so at first it may seem a bit overwhelming, but later, as your needs grow it will be a formidable tool in your arsenal. For now, all you need is the installer DVD that came with your Mac or a Mac OS X install DVD. (If you don’t have either of these you can also download the installer from Apple here http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/) I’m going to show you how to install Xcode for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) from the DVD, but the process is very similar for other previous versions of the Mac OS. Getting to your first running application is a little convoluted, so that is what this tutorial will help you to accomplish quickly.
First you will install Xcode tools on your Mac since it is not installed by default when you upgrade your OS or install the OS for the first time. (Just to be sure it wasn't previously installed you can check by opening your Macintosh volume (not your User folder) and seeing if it contains a folder named “Developer” . If not, you need to go ahead and install it as follows:
Insert your Mac OS X DVD and open Optional Installs. Open Xcode Tools. Double click the XcodeTools.mpkg package and install it on your Mac.
In order to make using the Xcode IDE easier to access, open the Developer folder on your Mac, then the Applications folder and drag Xcode.app to your dock.
Now you are ready to begin coding, so open Xcode Tools from your Dock and dismiss the “Welcome to Xcode” pop up. Select File/New Project and open Command Line Utility in the New Project Assistant. Now select C++ Tool and click Next. Choose a name for your project (It can be the name of your program) and were to save it. A project window will appear with the name you chose for your project. You may wonder what all the Groups and Files on the left side of the window are for, and though overwhelming, you must know that the Xcode Tools IDE which you are using allows you to make full blown applications which require all these parts, and not just the code you want to learn with in your first “Hello World” program. Fortunately all we need to focus on is one file that will be where you will edit your code. On the left hand pane entitled “Groups & Files” open the Source folder, then select the “main.cpp” file and in the same window click on the “Editor” button. You will also need a Console to view your program output, so in the main menu select Run/Console and open both windows so you can edit and view your code and your results simultaneously. Notice that the main.cpp window already has a sample program listing inside as a help to get you started. Here you can replace everything with your own code, and that is what you will do on your own, but for now let’s use the code they have in the default just to show you what to do next to get output out of the application. Click the “Build and Go” Button on the editor and watch the Console to see the results of your code execution. Now that you are done, go ahead and choose an example from your textbook and make a new project from scratch. Doing so will cement the steps in your head. -Migs (Miguel Reznicek)
