Answer 1

https://turboc.codeplex.com/

but for serious. just get updated stuff to learn modern c++ at home with.

www.visualstudio.com
codeblocks.org

Pretty sure you will need to forget much of the methods they will teach you.. so yeah.. suuuucks they are still teaching prestandard c++ at schools.

Answer 2

It's sad that some schools are still teaching pre-standard C++. Shows that some authorities are just providing education for the sake of... providing education. To be honest, even universities do this crap - My finals included code samples which won't compile on any version. This is why I am on SL, most people IRL show no concern at learning correct stuff, and when you try to point out the flaws, you get looks as if you are some kind of elitist.

If you still need it for whatever purposes, you may search the web for Turbo C++ compilers.

Answer 4

search turbo c++ on google.. I seriously recommend you question your teacher as to why they are teaching you 30 year old+ methods though.

Answer 5

^^ for sure show your teacher Jamies post

Answer 6

ick.. why do you really need it?

Answer 7

which ide did you use? that code will not work in a modern c++ compiler

you will need to type:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 8

ha, yeah things like that happen!

Answer 9

You mentioned your computer lab being old. Is that just the C++ compiler or OS and other software. If it's the entire system, I'd recommend AntiX Linux be installed. It's Debian-based (no systemd though) and super light. Can run on a P3. There's plenty software for coding and learning. Even lighter, you could customise a Debian system from netinst CD (build in from ground up). Fluxbox is a full DE that uses almost no memory. Another option is TinyCore Linux since one of their targets is embedded, the core is +/- 7MB and X + Fluxbox or Openbox should cost very little.

Just my 2 cents, but you can't learn on outdated stuff at school.

Answer 10

@Adrian

Do you need it, as much as I need cool codes?

Answer 11

But,

seriously It does not make sense to ask for an outdated complier.

Answer 12

I also think that schools must get updated with their softwares so that their students don't get outdated in their knowledge of any programming language especially C++ @Valentin. Then what's the use of teaching? My school also still uses turbo C++ for their students and not the modern compilers like Visual C++ or GNU C++. That's what it is good to learn all those by our own like here

Answer 13

I really need
because
we still use it at school 😀

Answer 14

@Adrian

okay!

I got it👌

Answer 15

all of the turbo c++ in our computer lab is outdated
I tried to copy it to my flash drive and run on my laptop
but it's not working

Answer 16

@jay
I make it run!
thank you
and
I'm also learning updated c++
plus python all at the same time 😀😀

Answer 17

@jay
I forgot to create a new file
