Introduction to latest ANSI C++ Compiler and elaboration of short comings of


Turbo C++ Compiler

In a nutshell, for those who want to learn c++, it is a free-form programming language that is
strongly or statically typed, general-purpose, and case-sensitive

Apart from these, it also supports object-oriented programming and a slew of other features,
such as STL, that help it stand out. A majority of the C++ compilers support the ANSI
standard, ensuring that C++ is portable.

Text Editors

A text editor is required to write a C++ program. Consider this, a blank Microsoft Word
document; this is where you can write your code. Any text editor would do, and some even
come pre-installed on your computer, but it’s best to use a coding-specific text editor. There
are numerous options available, but the following are some of the most common text editors
for C++ developers:

 Notepad++ is an open-source, lightweight, and basic text editor.

 Atom is a free program that supports a variety of languages and has a small number of plugins.

 Sublime Text: It costs $80, with a basic interface and special functionality.

 Bluefish is a lightweight, fast, multi-platform application that supports a variety of languages.

Compiler

A compiler examines your source code to perform two essential tasks: first, it ensures that
your code complies with the C++ language codes, and second, it converts your code into an
object file. GCC, Clang, and the Visual Studio C++ compiler are all well-known compilers.
Turbo C++ is out of date, so it is best to avoid it.

Linker

The object file is then sent to a linker program, which performs three tasks. First, it merges all
of your object files into a single program; second, it connects library files to your program;
and third, it exposes any cross-file naming or referencing problems.
IDE

Instead of using a text editor and compiler, many C++ programmers use an IDE. An
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a one-stop-shop for C++ programming.
There's a text editor, a linker, a parser, and libraries in it. There is no such thing as a good or
bad compiler. It all boils down to your preferences and the right style for you. The following
are some of the more common IDEs:

 Blocks: open, in-demand features, and user-created plugins

 Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform code editor that is open source and has a lot of capabilities

 Eclipse: It is an open-source, plain, cross-platform, which requires you to install some C++
components

Applications of C++ Programming

C++ is a commonly used programming language to create large-scale commercial end-user


applications. Some of the most important applications created for C++ by major tech vendors
and behemoths include:

 C++ is used in Google's Google file system, Google Chromium browser, and MapReduce massive
cluster data processing.

 Both Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, Mozilla's email chat client, are written in C++.

 MySQL is an open-source database management system written in C++.

 Many of the Windows applications you use daily are written in C++.

 C++ is used by almost all big gaming companies due to its incredible speed on bare metal. Many
major game engines are written entirely in C++, taking advantage of the language's speed and
OOP capabilities.

 MongoDB is an open-source database that is commonly used as the backend store for online
applications and in major corporations such as Viacom and
