C++:Adding two numbers

@navjotjsingh & casanova
Thanks!!! It is working. Why does this happen with shortcut?

TC is a 16 bit proggy. When you run it from command, it is being handled more efficiently.

But still then it consumes 100% on my PC .

and anyways , Turbo C++ Does Not support Standard C++ , so it's useless anyways .

Why not use Visual C++ Express or GCC when they're much better ?

Yes I do use VC++ only. But my sister needs TC as in college they told you to use TC only. Also for exams it is the one that is available. When will these colleges learn that TC is really old to be any useful these days?

[navjotjsingh]

Blame it on Old CBSE Course Too. They still teach old format C++.

[casanova]

Yes, academics spoil things. They ask to use TC which is lacking in features.

@zeeshan
Yes, it still uses lot of cpu. But it works atleast

Well actually there's an alternative to TC that will compile the old format code just fine under windows XP and into a 32 bit executable .

Here's how u can use Borland's FREE C++ Compiler along with the Relo IDE[i use it myself for school program testing ] :

1. Get Borland's Free C++ Compiler Here
http://dn.codegear.com/article/20633

2. Download the Free Relo IDE Here
http://www.fifsoft.com/relo/

3. Now Install Borland's Compiler First n then Relo IDE , it will ask u for Compiler Path during setup n just provide the path where u installed Borland Compiler n that's it, u have yor Development Enivronment Set-up and ready to go

[sandeepk]

Thanks for this advice. It is better than TC!!!

[Garbage]

@ sandeepk,

have u ever tested DevC++ ??? It is far better than this! Bcoz it supports OLD as well as NEW (ISO) C++

But problem is tat it DOES NOT Support borland specific headers[ conio.h anyone ? ] which are taught in the ICSE n CBSE curriculum

Biggest prob is that TC does not run fine under my PC in ANY way , that's y use Relo

Who says that ???

Infact take a look @ this code,

# include <iostream.h>
# include <conio.h>

int main()
{
    int a,b;
    cout << "Enter 2 numbers : ";
     cin >> a >> b;
    
    cout << "Addition = " << a+b;
    
    getch();
}

This code is perfectly valid in Dec C++.
And if u can see, then I've included conio.h & used getch() from that lib.

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

well , it frankly wasn't valid the last time i used Dev C++(that was when v4 was launched i suppose)

anyways , use whatever u like , except TC that is

It does not conform to the ISO C++ standards, regardless of the fact that even GCC can compile this code. The C++ programming language has nothing to do with screen, keyboard input and other I/O hardware interfacing.

[Sykora]

@shirish_nagar : That is definitely not valid code in dev c++. Dev c++ uses mingw compiler, which is based on gcc, and will choke on that code because it conforms to standards written in about 1995, and since then have become outdated. Even if it does work, you must have copied conio from a TC install to your dev include directory.

EDIT : Slightly late...

[Garbage]

^^ nah....

I've just installed DevC++ on my machine & compiled this!
Though it gives warnings bcoz I've used "iostream.h" instead of "iostream". But it compiled & run.

Actually it does. It runs fine on all Windows w/o any service pack(s). I've run it successfully on Win 98, 98SE, 2000, ME, XP, 2003. I've been using it for more than 2 years & still do.

[Garbage]

^^ yeh, just thing is that u don't have to INSTALL it, copy the TCC ot TC++ folder & navigate thru folder in command prompt.

Then it should work fine!!!

But it takes up 100% CPU time on my machine(n all other Win XP machines i've used)

[navjotjsingh]

Seems problem at your end. Here everything is Ok.
