A good C++ compiler?

Question

Hi! I'm quite new to programming in c++ (NOT VISUAL C++) . I am currently working on Borland C++ v3.0 (Dos version). I wanted to know if there is a compiler with similar code but is window based i.e. the IDE for it is a window and not the dos screen for it utilises too much of CPU. Please reply and possibly give a download link for a free compiler of this sort. I'll be grateful...

I’m surprised Google isn’t working for you. Or, don’t tell me, as an aspiring programmer, you haven’t learnt to Google yet.



You’ll see two major recommendations over and over, which are good choices for beginners. The first is Visual C++. On a windows PC this is ideal. You can get a free version. Google for Visual C++ Express.



The second is gcc. They make a C++ compiler. The windows version is under the name MinGW. Bloodshed Dev-C++ and many other IDEs use MinGW.

I Think The Best One For You Is The Borland C++ Builder 6 .... I Think It Works The Same And It's Windows Based But It Isn't Very Strong Compiler I have Worked With It ....... Silly Bugs

Answer 4

I also used Dev C++ and it's simpler than Visual C++. And you don't necessarily have to make a project to include your sources before compiling and building. So if it happens to have just one source you don't have to include it in anything.

Answer 5

I use bloodshed Dev C++ and its very efficient. Visit the link below to download it for free:

There are about 4 versions of this compiler, I recommend you download version 4.9.9.2 (9.0 MB).



Take care
