Can anyone suggest an IDE for C/C++ ?

Question

I downloaded Code Blocks and written a program but while compiling it shows error for iostream as no such file or directory I installed minGW and compiled but still shows error. But I don't won't traditional Turbo C++ because it is old and doesn't support new thinks. Anyone knows best IDE for C++ in Windows 7....

Answer 1

looks like codeblocks was not setup correctly.
try uninstalling it and installing a version that includes mingw.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/16.01/Windows/codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe

Answer 2

try visual studio.

Answer 3

@Alim :- When i used code Blocks i had this problem too... Follow this:-
1. Open Code Blocks
2. Start a new project :- Console application
3. In the left pane you will see the project name with a minus or plus sign on the left of the name of the project.
4.Click on that
5. A new folder-type named sources appears , Again click on the minus sign in the left of Sources.
6. You will see a file called :-. main.cpp
7. It has the same Hello World code which you wrote
8. Just Build and Compile that...Boom Your Code Works

/* The basic thing is you don't write the code in the project folder but you have to write it in a .cpp file */

Answer 4

CodeBlocks is good..I think you may show us your code

The code:

return 0;
