Reply:Most any regular text editor will work, but if you REALLY want to use C++ you should invest in a dedicated program like Visual Studio in Windows. Then you can use the graphic interface to help you with all kinds of things like code completion, compilation and, most importantly, debugging. If you are just starting out, be prepared as it is one of the most difficult languages to get tight with. I only use it when I need speed for some reason or another, but some people use it for everything. Nowadays, I'd much rather use the .NET version since it takes less code (usually), but until everyone has .NET running you won't have much of a user base. .NET also supports C#, which is very similar to C++ but is (in my opinion) a whole lot easier to use and is included with VS for Windows. Just search around and you're bound to find other editors/compilers that make life easier on the C++ community.
