    When I programmed with C++ in high school and first two years of college I used Bloodshed's Dev C++. Awesome program, 100% free, very visual, simple, and does the job of compiling code very well.

    in maximum circumstances, you ought to use a C++ compiler to collect C classes. C++ is an extension of C. think of of it as a typical C compiler with further help that we could it parse and collect merchandise-oriented source statements. C++ source code looks very equivalent to Java. no rely in the adventure that your classes will collect or no longer is desperate by how previous your version of swifter C is. I even have used swifter C a million.5 for DOS when you consider that I first bought it interior the early Nineteen Nineties. In that version, an integer (int) is barely 2 bytes. i've got by no means used seen C++, yet i'm optimistic it makes use of four-bytes because of the fact the default length for an int. The interfaces to C library exercises have replaced slightly too over the years. i've got had blended effects compiling a number of my previous swifter C a million.5 classes employing gcc on Linux. solid luck!

    Visual Studio is considered the best IDE, and there's the free Visual Studio C++ Express 2008 (only creates .NET applications). I think it's almost a 100MB download. They also have a video tutotial and e-book.

    If you're a student, Microsoft gives away the professional version of Visual Studio.
