Hi guys,
i'm just new to programming in c/c++
i'm just confused with the versions in c++,
Microsoft has visual c++ & borland has c++
what's the difference between this two and which of this would you recommend in developing programs? :confused:
i'm really a newbie
I personally like Dev C++ (which is free) and you can get it here:
www.bloodshed.com. As far as Mircosoft vs. Borland I think your better off going with Microsoft's Visual C++.
thanks for the advice, i appreciate it a lot :)
Please note that those things mentioned aren't versions of C++, but C++ compilers...
I think more and more compilers are getting more towards the C++ standard, and therefore it's a good idea to make extensive use of the standard library to make sure your code is portable between compilers
That's the GNU compiler, right?Quote:

Basically the big three are GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), Microsoft, and Borland.
GCC3 is the most compliant, and IMNSO the best compiler out there, followed (very!) closely by VC++ 7.0. I think the free Borland one is lagging behind a tad.
Last I heard, it wasn't really possible to get GCC3 working well on a non-Unix system :(
:rolleyes: lets put this in the faq.....its always being asked :)Quote:
