Why standard output is not printed on command line?

I'm new in programming. I run simple C++ program, like this:

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

std::cout<<"What?";}

by using the terminal by typing g++ Program.cpp.

No error is returned after compiling, but the standard output is not shown on the line, which I think it sohould return What? as typed after std::cout<<.

What can be the cause why the standard output is not shown in terminal?

Well the g++ command compiles the program. You also have to link and build the program.

Try gcc -o program Program.cpp

After that you'll have to run it:

./program

Also, you forgot using namespace std;
