Using C++ on Windows?
More than an editor you shall require a C++ program compiler. For helping programmers there are certain softwares called IDE (Integrated development environment) available.





IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and (usually) a debugger. Sometimes a version control system and various tools to simplify the construction of a GUI are integrated as well. Many modern IDEs also integrate a class browser, an object inspector and a class hierarchy diagram, for use with object oriented software development. Although some multiple-language IDEs are in use, such as the Eclipse IDE, JDeveloper, Code::Blocks, Komodo IDE, NetBeans, Borland Developer Studio, KDevelop or Microsoft Visual Studio, typically an IDE is devoted to a specific programming language, as in the Visual Basic IDE.





Some IDEs for C++ are free but may not be very powerful as Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc.





"Dev-C++" is a good free IDE for C++ programming. You can download and install it from: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html





HAPPY PROGRAMMING !!!
Reply:Sure you can use C++ on windows. Unix and linux sometimes already come with a compiler gcc or g++ and you don't need no addition download or other software. But that won't stop you from coding C++ in windows. All you need is an IDE .. there are a few of them that you can download for free. One of them is Dev-C++.








And then you just write your code there and save it as .cpp extension, or .h extension if you are making a header file.





Just read some FAQ or some documentation on Dev-C++ software website to get more info on how to use it.
