C++ ranks 4th in popularity according to 2016 IEEE spectrum Top Programming Language ranking. Learning C++ is a wise investment for all programmers.

What is C++ (programming language)?

 “C++ is a statically-typed, free-form, (usually) compiled, multi-paradigm, intermediate-level general-purpose middle-level programming language.”In simple terms, C++ is a sophisticated, efficient and a general-purpose programming language based on C. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979.

Many of today’s operating systems, system drivers, browsers and games use C++ as their core language. This makes C++ one of the most popular languages today.

Since it is an enhanced/extended version of C programming language, C and C++ are often denoted together as C/C++.

4 Things to Know Before you Code in C++  Now that you know what C++ is and how vast its scope ranges to, it’s time to get started with it. But, before you start, there are a couple of important things you should know. Below are the 4 most important things you need to know. C++ cannot be learnt in a day Learning any language takes time and that holds even more truth for C++. If you are here to learn C++ in a day, then you’re going to end up facing failure. To be honest, there’s no definite time to complete learning C++ and someone who says they can, are simply lying. You only start learning with regular practice and dedication. So, I suggest you to invest valuable time learning C++.   Learning C++ can be hard. Since it’s not a high level language, learning C++ can get overwhelming when you start and you’d need to be prepared to put thoughtful hours to learn the basics. But, there’s no need to panic. We offer plenty of r...

Compile and run C++ programming on your OS  C++ is completely free and readily available on all platforms. Follow the tutorial below for running C++ on your computer. To run C++ Programming in Windows, you’d need to download Code::Blocks. There are others available as well but Code::Blocks makes installation a piece of cake. It’s easy, simple and developer friendly. To make this procedure even easier, follow this step by step guide. Go to the binary release download page of Code:Blocks official site. Under Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8.x / 10 section, click the link with mingw-setup highlighted row either from Sourceforge.net or FossHub. Open the Code::Blocks Setup file and follow the instructions ( Next > I agree > Next > Install ); you don’t need to change anything. This installs the Code::Blocks with gnu gcc compiler, which is the best compiler to start with for beginners. Now, open Code::Blocks and go to File > New > Em...
