Compilers For C And C++ ?

OK GUYS, I just joined aptech for c & c++. now to complete my assignment i need a compiler .( which is light and of complete use ). I installed microsoft c++ express edition ..but how to use it ............u sudgest me good compiler or tell me how to use that c++ express edition from microsoft .

forget it.Download devc++,its easy to use and lightweight.And I suggest you try out Linux for your programming needs.

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
printf("asssignment 1");
getch();
}

is there any thing wrong in it ?

I am getting 3 errors

which compiler?

Lemme guess the errors:
1.conio.h is not defined something
2.error about clrscr()
3.getch()

conio.h is not a part of standard ISO c\c++ standards.and both clrscr and getch are defined in conio.h.

Yeah just omit conio.h, clrscr(); and getch();

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("asssignment 1");
}

in dev c++

'main' must return int

In function `int main(...)':

`clrscr' undeclared (first use this function)

Use the above given code sample.

ok that is working but for other programes

wont it make any problem

so conio.h will not work in dev c++

any other compiler

^^was this code told to you by your teachers?Or you just made it yourself?Which book are you using?

forget this compiler ratting devc++ is very good.

Programming in standard c\c++

conio.h is not standard C. Its a part of dinosaur C which devs back in 80s probably used.

this was told by my teacher

books are provided by aptech

Sigh, get Turbo C++ from your college/school/windows_users_at_digit and go on, be a part of the unproductive coders.

in turbo c++ also i have three errors

^^then tell your bloody teachers to teach you standard c\c++.OR just forget them all and learn yourself.

There are thousands of good tutorials available on net to get you started.

@clmblx Ur teacher doesnt use dev c++ then ..

btw for the return error add a
return 0;
before the code ends..

i remember he uses turbo c++

in turbo c++ errors are

include conio.h and stdio.h can not be open

unable to create .obj file

turbo c++ was last launched in 1992!!! and c\c++ was standardized in 1998 iirc.

what aptech\your teachers are teaching you is not standars c\c++ which all the devs around the world use.

@errors in turbo c++:you have to specify the directry of header files in some setting iirc.Dude trust us and stop using turbo.

any help or hint for

how to write programme for even and odd

greater in 3 numbers using switch

^^lol.we can't teach you every program boy.Make good use of your net connection.

anyways how to check for even,odd:

let the no. to be tested is n,then if n%2==0 then the no. n is even otherwise not.

%=remiander,i.e. for e.g. 5%2=1,7%5=2,4%2=0.
'==' duble = means comparision.

i knew how to do it but i was little confused ..

hey any one know why i am getting that errors in turbo c++

Shouldn't it be returning an int?
I believe you should either add

Code:

return 0

or

Code:

main

instead of int main.
Though this won't give an error but I believe it should give warning if you pass -Wall parameter to gcc.

Didn't I warn of the morons at aptech? Forget aptech they will teach you just crap.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
    (void) printf("asssignment 1");

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This code conforms to the ANSI/ISO C standards, and can withstand all syntax checker programs (lint), as well as -Wall -ansi -pedantic parameters to the GCC C compiler.

Here , this is the solution for you:

^^^ I got the solution .. It was directory errors. directories were not defined correctly

thanx

visual studio 2008 express edition Just give it a try your search would be over.

Also bloodshed dev c++ is good
visual studio 08 roxx

Yes go for DevC++ i have been using it and never had any problem. It is light and eats up less memory.

you want clear screen. use the following code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void clrscr()
{
system("clear");
}

int main()
{
clrscr();
printf("asssignment 1\n\n");
}

I have tried this using g++ but i can't guarantee that it will work on Windows.

turbo c++ shows error details... on compiling..... Ctrl+F9

like this:

and when you press enter, it shows:
*geocities.com/khattam_khattam/tcerr2.jpg

post the details here, if you cant figure out urself......

Man VC++ 2008 Express Edition pwns DevC++ , just have a look at it n then tell .

Use Broland 32-bit C++ Compiler......its free,light on resource,easy to understand and best suited for C/C++ project works......all of our group's works(Centium inc.) r done on this IDE.

@the question asker,
if you can't spare clear screen which is included in conio.h then

include stdlib.h && instead of clrscr(); use system("clear");
