Where will I see the output?

The compilation of the program was successful. But I don't see the output.

I am using Mac OS X so I had to use a workaround, I just opened the Arduino IDE, selected the corresponding Serial Port and then used the Serial Monitor.

Serial pc(SERIAL_TX, SERIAL_RX);

You can check SERIAL_TX/SERIAL_RX definitions in your micro's pinnames.h.

Or simply use Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);

Then you can see the ouput from USB/USART port by TeraTerm or other utilities.

SERIAL_TX/RX are identcial to USBTX/USBRX. STM legacy issue (they didn't follow the standard, then they changed to the mbed standard, and then they decided to support both).

Thanks for the reply. But I still didn't get the solution. How can I see the output on a USB flash drive?

With the correct drivers installed on your computer the mbed looks like both a USB drive and a serial port at the same time.

See the link in Maxime Teissier's answer for details.

I haven't used the Nucleo or the 'printf'. printf is used to display data to a serial terminal. You won't see it on a USB flash drive - that is a bulk storage device for files. [I haven't looked at the program itself - just going by the title and the other suggested answers] Your last post regarding the USB flashdrive is confusing. and needs clarification

I'm guessing he means the USB drive on the PC that the mbed looks like.
