I would second this, pick up Visual C++ Express Edition and make your life easier.

Nothing wrong with DevC++ either but Visual Studio contains many small helpers to assist a person just learning.

Good luck with your learning and stick with it! :thumbs:


Also, C++ is a great language but I think C# might be a bit easier when you are just learning to program. So many of the more taxing problems are abstracted away letting you focus on the learning and not the clean up and memory handling details.

[_r.u.s.s.]

if you're going for the commercial c++ compilers, borland c++ builder is one of the best tools available out there

edit: i see that some `embarcadero technologies` bought it, i hope they don't screw it up like adobe with flash

You should use Code::Blocks, it's the best and it's free. I also believe (but i'm not sure) that it pauses at the end of the program so you can see the output.
If not, you should use a getch or cin<<z as the other guys said
