@agdgdgdgwngo - yeah u are right.okay ... can u plz give me a GCC, MinGW, MSVC, compiler link to download. and after download what i have to do ... i mean is there any plugin option there in notepad++ where i select and then run the program.

Answer 3

you can download codeblocks instead, there you will be able to write source code and compile it and run it

Answer 4

MSVC is bundled with Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, and you can download their visual C++ express edition IDE for free and build C++ programs. I think you have to run the IDE itself, though, so you will be leaving notepad++ if you go with it :(.

GCC comes bundled with cygwin, a progam that gives you a bunch of linux tools on windows: http://cygwin.com/

I think you can download MinGW standalone somewhere, but it is bundled with the code::blocks IDE if you download it from their website http://codeblocks.org

For the record: Yes you can run your code directly from Notepad++. On the menubar there is a Run option. I definitely works for HTML and other languages that run in a browser. It also definitely works for Java as well. For other code, a compiler will have to be installed, and I cannot speak for how well this functionality works, but if it works for other languages as well as it does for Java and Net languages, you shouldn't have a problem.
