Question

Can i write text in notepad than save it as .cpp then compile it in cmd like i can do with terminal in ubuntu.

Answer 1

Yes you can.

All you need to do is download a compiler (GCC is good), and then use it through command line wither with a batch file or directly from CMD.

You can also add the executable directory to your PATH environment variable to access it by only the exe name.
