What command line do I write C++ in

[jsmith613]

Hi,
this is a terribly awkward question.
I am trying to start learning C++ but do not know what I am supposed to write the code in. Is there some kind of IDE that I am supposed to use / download.

I ask in relation to both Windows 8 and Scientific Linux 6.5
thanks

If you want IDE for both Window and Linux, I suggest Code::Blocks:

Code::Blocks is my go to IDE nowadays.

If you want a really lightweight compiler just to do some quick editing, Geany is available on Linux and Windows.

For a full replacement for Visual Studio (Microsoft's program), there are those who also use Eclipse. Its a little more resource heavy, but this has been revamped for just about every language out there, and is available on Windows, Linux and Mac.

At the end of the day, its more about preference since there are more than a few good choices.

You do realize that that is now 4 years old? Hint - the version number is the date is was released (May 2010). Last I checked, the most recent version was 13.12 (December 2013).
