Which IDE is better for C++ programming between Code Blocks and Visual Studio and why

Question

I'm a student about to start full-time programming and I'd like you guys to advise me on which IDE to use for C++ programming

Answer 1

If you are a NEWCOMER then, you shouldn't use the IDE. You should use "Turbo C++". I know it sucks when you will enter into infinite loop.

but my point is that, it will show you the right way, exact syntax, general mistakes that we are ignoring. Most of the IDE hide these mistakes. So try Turbo C++. After that you can switch to IDE.
For example: if you are working on a C program. if a new programmer writes a "hello world" program. There are probable chance of missing the including "header files", coz IDE will cover it, but in Turbo, you will see an error. which you have to solve. which will make you more useful, more productive.

As my personal experience, I will suggest the third one "Dev C++". I always found CodeBlock very complex to me. I'm suggesting it because it has good hierarchical representation of each varible, Structure, function and so on. when you work on a large project. you can also minimize of areas to look you code easily.

Visual studio have the quiet simple interface as Dev C++ have.

So go for it with this small talk.

well I think ide is based on personal choice & liking...
u can't like an ide which is liked by others...maybe....
i will suggest to try both & use in which u r comfortable...
consider eclipse & jetbrains & some others too...

Visual studio is a much more advanced IDE with many more features compared to Codeblocks, and using it is as simple as using Codeblocks.
