how to practice

I'm very new to programming and want to know what I can use to practice my C++ in, is there a program i can download or something that I can program in in C++? thank you
What operating system are you using?

If Windows check out these (search Google):
Visual C++ Express
Code::Blocks with mingw
Dev-C++

I use Visual C++ Express and recommend it out of that list.

If you are using Linux then you probably already have one installed, at the command line type:
g++ -o outputprogram mysource.cc

If you are looking for an IDE to use with Linux I like Geany, and if you just have a console I like nano with the syntax coloring enabled.

Good luck!
I'm on windows so I will try one of those first ones out, thanks so much!
