Hi,
I'm a new programmer. I have written a c++ program on my mac terminal and I can't run it. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2014 with OS X Yosemite. I have x code installed as well. I've also got emacs installed. So I'm having troubles compiling and executing the program.

What problem(s) are you having? There is no way to tell from your post if you can't find the compiler or if the complier is failing or your program is compiling eh errors or fails when you run it.
You need to supply information in order to get a question answered.
In the meantime as a quick guess are you sure you have the command line tools installed? There are not a part of Xcode and need to be installed separately.
I can't find the compiler. Also, I installed the command line tools.
What do you mean you can;t find the compiler? What compiler are you looking for and where are you looking?
Honestly you need to describe the exact steps you have taken and what errors or messages you are getting back. This back and forth is a waste of everyones time.
Unless you have munged your default PATH parameters, the command line tool compilers are all located in /usr/bin.
They are:
These will automatically search for the default libstd++, or libc++ (c++-11) shared libraries, and are invoked in the Terminal as:
clang++ -O2 -o mycode mycode.cpp
How do I compile a c program from my Mac terminal?
