Should I replace Dev-C++?

Jun 2, 2011 at 2:01pm
Hello,

I have read some articles about Dev-C++ IDE, and should I replace it with another compiler?

If so, what other IDE's would you recommend me?

I have been using Dev-C++ since I stared the C++ tutorials on this website, and although for me is a very great compiler, I had some unexpected rare errors and some problems in the past.

Thanks in advance,

The list of good free IDEs includes but is not limited to:

1- Code::Blocks -> http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads
2- Visual Studio C++ Express -> http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP
3- Netbeans -> http://netbeans.org/downloads/
4- Eclipse -> http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliossr1
5- QT Creator -> http://qt.nokia.com/downloads (scroll down a bit to download it as a standalone)

Dev C++ isn't a compiler, It's an IDE. Dev C++ uses MinGW compiler, which is also used by Code::Blocks.

Visual Studio don't uses MinGW but instead uses its own compiler. if you're using Dev C++ your best option is Code::Block since it's very similar to Dev C++.

No..Sadly you can't the reason being is that's the language. Just like in pascal the begin and end statement are needed to make the if statement work. Same with C++. You must have the braces.
I also think the braces are easier. It takes less time then having to write , begin and end and I know it takes some time to get used to but trust me you'll get used to it. Just keep working at it , oh and most large languages use the braces ( { } ) so you might as well just get used to it.
