Need help with c++ programming.

[Spitfire Sweden]

I have recently gotten into c++ and i need heavy help fixing the compile program.I gets me alot of errors! If you can help me just tell me and i will give you my MSN.

It's been near 10 years since I worked with C++, but I can look at your code if you want. Just send me your code and a screenshot or copy/paste of the errors you get when trying to compile.

 

[Spitfire Sweden]

it is not that. There is a program that makes the .exe file from the .cpp file and i just cant get it to work :/

 

[Lafinass]

Ahhh... actual compiler errors.

What are you using?

I've always used Visual Studio, it is one of the few things Microsoft really does do better than the competitors.

I use Dev C++, seems to work fine for me, send me a PM with your MSN if you want some help.

I'll be away from my computer for around an hour here. But Dev is a free program just do a google search for it, also send me your source file and I'll take a look at it if you want. I will get back here when I can today.

Here guys! I use a program called "Borland" Here is the error picture

 

[Lafinass]

Oh god. I'm sorry.

I can't help you but to say get a different program. Borland is terrible and always has been.

Used that POS back in high school. It never worked right.

Yeah, Dev C++ is my suggestion. [link=hyperlink url]http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html[/link] for the download

Thanks guys!

I always just program on Linux machines and use g++.

Meh.

You can also download Cygwin and use g++ in Windows through it. www.cygwin.com

Or, if you want, you can use MinGW, which always worked great for me.

Visual Studio is what I use.
I figure I couldn't live without it.
While the edition of VS I use costs somewhere near $1000, you can grab the express version which is absolutely free and comes with almost all the features of the full versions.

As for the error you're getting, it seems the borland compiler doesn't have a preprocessor. Which basically means it sucks and you shouldn't be using it!

My only complaint with "visual" IDEs is that they can encourage lazy programming. (Not that I say can and not do.) I've seen a lot of applications with shoddy code simply because it was easier to assemble with VS than anything else.

I'm with Voided on this one. Just because I CAN code in a basic text compiler doesn't mean I have to. VS really does make your life infinitely easier. Particularly if you're no good at remember how to spell commands.
