There are several alternatives for compiling C++ on Linux. Let's look at 2 of them −GCCAlmost all Linux distros come with GCC installed. Check whether GCC is installed on your system by entering the following command from the command line −$ g++ -vIf you have installed GCC, then it should print a message such as the following −Using built-in specs. Target: i386-redhat-linux Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr ....... Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed instructions available at https://gcc.gnu.org/install/. clangClang is a compiler developed ...

Step 0 − Install MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCCTo use Eclipse for C/C++ programming, you need a C/C++ compiler. On Windows, you could install either MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCC. Choose MinGW if you are not sure, because MinGW is lighter and easier to install, but has fewer features.MinGW GCC − To install MinGW, go to the MinGW homepage, www.mingw.org, and follow the link to the MinGW download page. Download the latest version of the MinGW installation program which should be named MinGW-.exe.While installing MinGW, at a minimum, you must install gcc-core, gcc-g++, Binutils, and the MinGW runtime, but you ...

C++, also said to be a middle-level language, as it is a combination of both high-level features like abstraction with low-level language features like memory manipulation capabilities of assembly. It is a superset of C, as it compromises both C with object-oriented, therefore any valid C program will also be valid to C++ program.Top Features of C++ Programming Language C++ runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. In this following article we will discuss some of the features of C++ that make it stand out among other programming languages: 1. ... Read More

In C++, variables can be declared as global or local depending on the scope of their declaration. Local variables are declared inside functions or blocks whereas global variables are declared outside all functions. Therefore their initialization behaviour also differs. In this article we will learn their different initialization behaviour in detail. Local Variable Initialization Local variables are the variables, which are declared inside a function or block (such as loops or conditionals) and are only accessible within that scope. By default local variables cannot initialize automatically, In case if you don't assign any value to that local variable, then it ... Read More

C++ is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language, which was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in the 1980s. It's an extension of the C language as it includes C features with additional object-oriented concepts like classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.Before, it was known as "C with Classes" around 1979, but later renamed as C++ in 1983. These versions of the C++ language are compilers, which are implemented with the following rules made by the ISO C++ community, the community that looks over the development of the language. Here is the following list of C++ versions. ... Read More

Both C and C++ are powerful programming languages that are used by developers to write both system-level and high-level programs. C language follows procedural programming paradigm with a simple and structured approach, whereas C++ supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. Although both C and C++ are widely used across various fields for developing different types of system and application software but they have different strength and use cases. In this article, we will learn when to use C over C++, and when C++ is a better choice than C. When to use C Language? When ... Read More

Following are some of the differences between C and C++.When compared to C++, C is a subset of C++. All valid C programs are valid C++ programs.C is a structural or procedural programming language, while C++ is an object oriented programming language.In C, Functions are the fundamental building blocks, while in C++, Objects are the fundamental building blocks.C doesn't have variable references, while C++ has variable references.C uses malloc and free for memory allocation while C++ uses new and delete for memory allocation.C does not provide direct support for error handling, while C++ supports exception handling that helps in error ...

So you've decided to learn how to program in C++ but don't know where to start. Here's a brief overview of how you can get started. Get a C++ Compiler This is the first step you'd want to do before starting learning to program in C++. There are good free C++ compilers available for all major OS platforms. Download one that suits your platform or you can use the tutorialspoint.com's online compiler on www.tutorialspoint.com/compilers/online-cpp-compiler.htm GCC − GCC is the GNU Compiler chain that is basically a collection of a bunch of different compilers created by GNU. You can download ... Read More

C++ is a general-purpose and high-level programming language, which was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s. It is an extension of the C programming language, which means it has features of C (procedural programming) with the added feature of object-oriented programming. It has become a widely used language, especially in competitive programming and is supported on most platforms such as Windows, Linux, Unix, and macOS. Advantages of C++ Programming LanguageIn this article we will discuss the advantages of using C++ language: C++ is a highly portable language that supports multi-device and multi-platform application ...
