What do you mean by "complete library" ? Both use GCC which is a powerful, complete, robust, opensource and standards compliant compiler which is used by a majority of C developers in several platforms.

use Visual C++ express edition:

Microsoft Express Home - Visual Studio Express and SQL Server Express are free tools

ok i got that wrong by saying "complete library"....what I'm trying to say is that most of the code that i write in Turbo C do not get compiled in Code-Blocks or in Dev-C whereas they are compiled without any problem in Turbo C.

Why is it like that?

:p I know that....but thought it was some compiling issues.
I thinks my teacher is also outdated who suggested us to use this Turbo-C for project.....;-)

I guess I have to back to Code::Blocks now....
