c++ for a beginner

Post by Swan »

Ok guys I downloaded an ebook on C++, C++ for dummies lol.

Thing is, I ran into difficulty within a few pages when it came to writing a program, in the interest of clarity I copied and pasted the code from the ebook into the program and got errors. Neo then amended one of the errors, but the program still refused to run, says it wasnt compiled.

I am used Dev-C++ 4. 9. 9. 2, is this is a suitable compiler for a novice or should I use another, would visual studio be a better option?

Thanks guys!

I've alway use visual studio without any problem. I think you can download a 1year trial on their website.

I say you should put both of them on your computer. I know there was a few times Dev-C++ gave me errors and Visual Studio would run it and vice versa.
