Compilers For C And C++ ?

[clmlbx]

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 .

[The_Devil_Himself]

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

[clmlbx]

#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

[The_Devil_Himself]

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.

[QwertyManiac]

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

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

[clmlbx]

in dev c++

'main' must return int

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

`clrscr' undeclared (first use this function)

[QwertyManiac]

Use the above given code sample.

[clmlbx]

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

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^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.

[clmlbx]

this was told by my teacher

books are provided by aptech

[QwertyManiac]

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

[clmlbx]

in turbo c++ also i have three errors

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^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.

[Pathik]

@clmblx Ur teacher doesnt use dev c++ then ..
btw for the return error add a
return 0;
before the code ends..

[clmlbx]

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

[The_Devil_Himself]

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.

[clmlbx]

any help or hint for

how to write programme for even and odd

greater in 3 numbers using switch

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^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.

[clmlbx]

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

return 0

or

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.

[Yamaraj]

#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:

Ditch Turbo C++ use Relo !

[clmlbx]

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

thanx

[sudhir_mangla]

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

[The Conqueror]

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

[anand1]

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

[The Unknown]

you want clear screen. use the following 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:


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 .
