How do i download c++ and which compiler do I use?

Question

As said before, I have trouble finding a place to download C++ and I don't know which compiler to use.
I used VISUAL BASIC a while ago so something like that would come in handy

Answer 1

*AsterisK* On some machines it doesn't come built-in, maybe it came built-in for you. I didn't have it, so I had to install it from external sources.

Answer 2

You should go through the C++ tutorial! Everything is beautifully explained.

Links to free and commercial C++ compilers can be found at — http://www.cplusplus.com/

When you want to mention someone specific, then write @UserName,

You have everything in the lesson "Geting the Tools", just read please!!

The most frequently used and free available compiler is the GNU C/C++ compiler.

Various C++ IDEs and compilers are available. We'll use a free tool called Code::Blocks, which includes both an IDE and a compiler, and is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
To download Code::Blocks, go to http://www.codeblocks.org/, Click the Downloads link, and choose "Download the binary release".

Choose your OS and download the setup file, which includes the C++ compiler (For Windows, it's the one with mingw in the name).

Answer 4

Just go to website www.codeblocks.com and you sorted

Answer 5

I would reccomend using an IDE, which usually has a compiler built-in.
Some IDEs which I used and they worked fine, are the following:
1. Bloodshed DevC++. It's quite lightweight and has a compiler built in.
2. Code::Blocks. It has multiple language support, although it needs a compiler (like GCC or MinGW) installed before-hand.

Answer 6

You shouldn't download c++.Just dowload compiler and IDE!

Answer 7

Answer 10

You should first of download a toolchain, either MingW or Cygwin.
Then you'll be able to compile C++ files from the command prompt by typing "gcc"
