Question

Can I compile C++ programme using c compiler?

Answer 1

If you use a compiler like Clang, then there's no need since Clang can compile several different programming languages. If you write a C++ source file, then invoke the C++ compiler within Clang at the command line. C++ compilers are able to compile C source files though since C++ was designed to be a superset of C.

Answer 2

Nope. As C++ is the newer version , you just can't compile a C++ code in C Compiler as keywords,tokens are differently defined.

Answer 3

Which compiler do you want to use? I mean, if it's Visual Studio, then yes. If it's a stand-alone compiler in which you enter the name, then you cannot.
