Looking for a C++ Compiler?

[SMA01]

Hi,

I'm new here and to C++. I'm taking a Computer Science course this semester, and have been assigned a programming project. I'm not sure which compiler to use, I've never used one before honestly. I searched on this site, and there were suggestion but most were IDEs. I'm not exactly sure what those are, but apparently they fix up your code for you. I'm not sure if I should use one of those (I have to send my program to my teacher online) or just a regular compiler? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

How about GNU GCC ?

aztech- I'll look into it thanks. I'm a Windows user by the way.

It's available for windows as well. gcc.gnu.org

clang + gcc

I'm trying to install Gcc, but it I don't think there is a specific link to have it in one go. The instructions are too technical, can anyone steer me in the correct direction?
