Notepad++/g++ compiler issues

Question

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the coding world. I am familiar with html5 and css that's about it. Ok, My question is. How do I install the G++ compiler to notepad++? I've tried watching different youtube videos on this topic, but can't seem to get it to work. For example: I wrote the basic "hello world" code and I couldn't get any output in the console. After writing the code do I just hit enter to see the output? or is there some other key I must hit. If someone out there could take me from the G++ intallation to executing it in notepad it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

u on windows? I found notepad++ overwhelmed me when I first started to learn c++.

I opted for a full IDE. Code::blocks or visual studio. Everything you need all wrapped up ready to go.

If you really want to use notepad++ go for it. But I have no answers 😕 Sorry.

Answer 2

it is for a few languages. i dont think html is one of them but I may be wrong. no reason you can't use both though

Answer 3

Thank you very much for your response Jay. If I go with visual studio or code::blocks, can I still make html and CSS pages, or is it just for c++?
