Hello. I'm not new to C++ necessarily, I've been using it for years for programming odds and ends for robotics and making apps. Recently was tasked to try out using Monte Carlo principles for running simulations on magnetic particles, and I wanted to know what compiler would be best to get the job done as I'm not sure if Visual Studio is right.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Edit: Should clarify, I'm alright with programming, I just don't know much about compilers. I usually have one pre-loaded or assigned before starting a new project. But as I'm given free reign on how to operate now, I don't know how to go about what I need.
Hi, welcome. Visual Studio is great for most purposes. And it isn't just an compiler, it's a whole IDE (has nice features). I believe VS 2017 has a free "community" version (you "pay" by giving Microsoft information ;) ). https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Other options on Windows include MinGW (which is GNU's GCC implementation for Windows), or Clang. Here's a link to a MinGW build with some nice libraries pre-built with it: https://nuwen.net/mingw.html
