For a school assignment, I am required to use C++ version 03. I have a Mac, and I was told to use Xcode by my instructor.

After a bit of research, I found the place on where to change the version of C++ that is being used. As shown in the image, the version C++03 is not available. I tried typing "C++03 [-std=c++03]" in the "Other..." option, but my build failed.

I tried searching around on here and online, but I couldn't find anything that provided a solution.

Can someone please give me some guidance on what to do here? I am entirely new to C++, and I simply just want some help in being able to compile my code.

Thanks.

In Xcode on the Macintosh, to use C++03 (which should be nearly the same or identical with C++98), you can select the C++ Language Dialect > Other... > and type in c++03 (lowercase) in the field.

C++03 was more of a "big fix" to C++98, (q.v. this answer). It resolved some ambiguities in the language specification. Rather than being a significant new C++ standard.

You'll note that there are options like C++98 and GNU++98. The GNU++XX options enable several GNU extensions to the language, which if utilized means the code will not be strictly standard C++ compliant.

C++11 was a major change to the language. C++11 and later are sometimes referred to as "modern C++".
