Re: [C++]Programs

but how do you make a .exe file do something? like when u type something in notepad then save as a .exe file how do you make it do something can someone give me an example?

Re: [C++]Programs

Don't listen to the idiot. Writing C++ code in notepad and renaming it to .exe does not compile, nor even make it work.

Personally I use Visual C++, within the Visual studio package. Before I used Dev-cpp, which is a great editor with build in GCC :smile:

Re: [C++]Programs

yes can someone give me an example... and how do u make an interface like a box with notepad...

I'm using pro compilers and not that stupid to use notepad. That is not a human who don't do/say/type simething incorrect. And yes. We know that you are feeling like smartass now.

Smartass? I'm not the one saving a textfile as .exe and expecting it to run. On the other hand, saving something as a .bat WILL make it run, if you entered normal DOS commands. So either way, you really do not seem to know what the hell it is you're talking about. Not to mention your grasp of the english language seems to be even worse.

As for compiling a textfile, thats quite easy if you have a compiler and a command line interface and your compilers executable is in the systems path environment, because with most compilers it then becomes as easy as writing "name_of_compiler.exe name_of_source.cpp" and letting it run, though ofcourse this is only a bare minimal example of what your compiler can really do.

Re: [C++]Programs

He's just being stupid.

Anyway, Visual Studio 2005 is the best IDE for C++, even some *nix fans I talk to agree (those who are actually open-minded). It's got a debugger, code profiler, etc...

ITT we see how noobs fail at programming...

Any text editor is fine, on Windows I prefer EDIT 2.0.026 and on *nix, vim.

Re: [C++]Programs

I use Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003, works like a charm, but I think it goes for about $800.

There's a free 180 day trial if you look for it at the microsoft site Loregoreth

Re: [C++]Programs

I thought express versions were free forever..

Express versions are free, but the professional and standard editions aren't.

But I use Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. It's just what I started with and got accustomed to. I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 right now though, trying to get used to it (some people told me it's better for some of the things I need it for).

But Visual Studio is good, lets me do my VB.NET and C++ both.

Express version = ultrabloated .NET crap.

BTW, if you want to write C#, J#, or VB.NET, all you need is the .NET framework. The compilers and accessories are included.

Re: [C++]Programs

Free nevertheless and I doubt a beginner looking for any IDE minds bloatedness, although I must admit the (often useless) feature jungle can be good at hiding what you're looking for, especially if you don't yet know what exactly it is you need.
