    Yes almost all of them come free of cost.I would suggest to download free IDEs. that would be better.An integrated development environment (IDE) (also known as integrated design environment, integrated debugging environment or interactive development environment) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of:

    * a source code editor

    * a compiler and/or an interpreter

    * build automation tools

    * a debugger

    So you can edit, compile ,run and debug in same application.Besides, managing the projects gets easier.

    name and link:-

    Code block(Linux+windows)--http://www.codeblocks.org/

    Bloodshed DevC++(Linux+windows)==http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

    Xcode---Mac https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

    Microsoft Visual C++:-http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/produc...

    Visual C++ is good IDE but does not come free.You have to buy MS Visual Studio 'cause it comes bundled.

    Source(s): Codeblocks is easy to use and has GCC compiler.Can be used one windows and for GUI(windows) application development besides console.DevC++ does not provide that feature.

    There's one - MinGW (Minimalist GNU Windows compiler). It's somewhat synonymous with gcc and/or g++ compilers on Linux (but with libraries that is geared towards Windows program development). Basically, with some modifications to your source code, you're able to compile the same program for Windows and Linux. I know for a fact that it does come bundled with Bloodshed Software's Dev-C++ (which is available for free).

    Absolutely.

    Possibly the most common free one is G++. It's been around for a long time and a lot of work has been done on it, so it's pretty good. Only very advanced users would need something more than that.
