C++ in notepad++

I want to get into C++ but I don't know if Notepad ++ has everything it needs to run C++ code. Please tell if I need to download something or if everything is all right. Currently, I (to my knowledge) nothing already downloaded into my Notepad++. Please also inform me if it would be easier just to download a whole new editor. Any advise is helpful; thank you

You need something to translate your C++ code into machine language, a so called compiler. But if you're new, I'd recommend you Visual Studio Community Edition. It's an IDE (integrated development environment) which always comes with a compiler and makes programming easier for you.

This may help you out a little. http://www.edparrish.net/common/npp4c.html I also recommend getting an IDE CodeBlocks is a pretty good one and easy to use. http://www.codeblocks.org/ or you can try DevC++ https://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/

Visual Studio runs just on Windows PCs, but it has a ton of features. Code::Blocks runs on any PC, but it's a little more restricted.
