Dev C++ - Review + Variations from Turbo C++

           I was addicted to the old school Turbo C++, until very recently, until I met Dev C++. For those who don't know new C++, Dev C++ may be a little strange, but once you get used to some minor changes from that of TC++ , you will be amazed how sophisticated is Dev C++ Compliler. 

       Some of the features I love the most are :

• Automatic Indentation 
• Syntax Highlighting
• Updated and ready to go!
• Error identification is BITCHIN'!!!

So if you are not satisfied with Turbo C++, I completely recommend you to move on to Dev C++, but you have to know the changes to be made in the program as for it to work with Dev C++. I am listing here, two of the most basic variations of DC++ from TC++ here:

     

1. .header extension is removed, and most of the header names are changed. For example in TC++,  you include iostream header as : #include<iostream.h> , whereas in Dev C++, you should remove .h extension and type it like this : #include<iostream>. There are many header variations like this.
2. Another important change is that, inorder to make the program work, you are required to enter this :          using namespace std;                                                                                                               in between the header inclusion and class/function declaration. 

 Here is the addition program in two compilers:

Turbo

#include<iostream.h>

void main(){

int a=3,b=3,c;

c=a+b;

cout<<c;

}

Dev

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void main(){

int a=3,b=3,c;

c=a+b;

cout<<c;

}

So, to conclude, Dev C++ is loaded up with many amazing and sophisticated features. And it is also opensource (FREE!) . You may download it from their website. 

That is all for now guys.. 

Spare a moment to say thanks. :)
