Hello, I'm New

Hello, I just started to learn C++, and was wondering what program I can download to test the codes I create, or the pre-made codes.

I would be grateful for a link.

You need a C++ compiler.
There are several free compilers available to download, depending on your platform.
Popular choices are Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express for Windows, GNU C++ Compiler for Linux, and Apple's xCode for Mac.

I use Dev-C++
It's the best FREE one iv'e ever seen (the only one i use)
I rate it 10/10

Link: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

(It's only about 5mb where the microsoft one is 88mb)

Hi, I've never used Dev, just downloaded... do I need to download anything else to make it run? I was a little concerned about troyans that can come with the exe... how long Bloodshed has been going on?
thx

Hi cybergirl
Im not to sure how long Bloodshed's been out for but a mate introduced me to it about 3-2 years ago, Im not really to much help i've only just started C++ about 1-2 weeks ago, But what i do know is that Dev-C++ (bloodshed) is a great simple programe with all the handy features built-in i used a different programe when i started the (Juan Soulie Tutorials) and i got many errors and "file invalid" etc.. than i found dev-c++ and it works like a charm. But it's not up to me but my opinion as a newbie i would go (bloodshed)

P.S What's you email and no you don't have to download anythink else unlike other c++ programes :)
