For those who are new to computer programming, you might ask, “What is an ideal IDE or Integrated Development Environment for C/C++.
Alright, for newbies you might ask, what the hell is IDE? I would simply explain to you, IDE is a source code editor that comes together with the compiler.
We must choose the ideal IDE in order to make ourselves feel comfortable when writing the source code and developing our projects.
Personally, I really like t use DEV C++ rather than using Microsoft Visual C++.
There are some reasons why I choose DEV C++, such as :
- It’s a freeware (who doesn’t like a free thing?).
- User-friendly interface.
- One hot-key to save-build-compile-run.
- Fast compilation.
- Stabile (especially when compiling a large project).
- Simple syntax for some functions such as clearscreen, color, pause and etc.
- Using tabs for better navigation.
If we compare this IDE with Microsoft Visual C++, the main problem that I had faced is stability. Microsoft Visual C++ is always hang or jammed when compiling the source code, and I could only terminate its process using Task Manager. Really annoying, isn’t?
This problem is always occured to the others(I always see it happen in the computers’ lab). Another problem, there is only one source code per editor (one workspace), which mean you have to close the current workspace, and open the new workspace for other source code. It’s really annoy me.
For those who are interested to give a try for DEV C++, you can download using the link below.
