Interactive prompt like IDLE
I have done a reasonable amount of programming in the past and am trying to use C++ more mainly for educational reasons but also for speed. :)
One of the things I most miss from python is the idle IDE as you can test code really easily in the interactive prompt. When using C++ I use Eclipse and my work-flow goes like this. Write a short program write a test of some kind in main(). Run. Exit. Think of something else I want to check add it to main. Run and so on and so forth. Is there a better way, something like the interactive prompt where I can run then call functions and do checks as I please.
Thanks

Like a debugger? For example, gdb will let you call functions, etc.. Regardless, C++ is not an interpreted language so you can't just skip the compiling part.
