How to Setup C++ on Windows

[@ioanabazarea9564]

I've tried so many ways for too long to configure an IDE with a compiler to run C++ on windows, none of the ways i've tried before were working for me... until i found this tutorial. Thank you for your tutorial, god bless you man!

[@DarkPlaysThings]

@pais de ratas I personally still just use g++ and any random text editor. Kinda just cuts straight to the point.

[@smrtfasizmu6161]

Do you have the original version for Windows or do you use the copy for windows? Where I live nobody is using the legal windows.

[@PlabsUnderscore]

If anyone is confused about how to find the settings folder, you should be able to access it by following the tutorial, when you go to import the settings you'll see the directory, where it says "save current settings" just click browse and copy the file there then keep following the tutorial.

[@pumaman9000]

I actually wanted to compare/contrast your VS settings to my existing settings and so what I did was export my existing settings, then using PowerShell I converted the .vssettings XML files into "pretty printed" XML files and then used the Tools.DiffFiles command inside the Command Window in VS to do a side-by-side comparison. Great way to very easily see the differences between the two. The PowerShell I used was: function Get-XmlFile([parameter(mandatory = $true)][String]$FilePath) { [System.Xml.Linq.XDocument]::Parse((Get-Content $FilePath)) } function ConvertTo-PrettyXmlFile([parameter(mandatory = $true)][String]$FilePath) { (Get-XmlFile $FilePath).ToString() | Out-File "${FilePath}.pretty.xml" } So you could do something like: ConvertTo-PrettyXmlFile .\ChernoVS.vssettings Great C++ series by the way; I really enjoy your presentation/teaching style. Very engaging and straight to the point with very simple/clear explanations. Keep up the good work.

Sooooooo excited for this series! By the way, just one question: When should you use C++, and when should you use C? Because I heard a lot of people hating on C++...

[@kylemccarthy5458]

Unless you are a system software programmer or just really like C, I would just stick to C++. Lots of those types of topics on the internet are really outdated and are 6 years old or more. Your best bet is just use C++ and take advantage of the Object Oriented Features you can do with it

[@KaiDuquet]

Alright, Thanks! I just wanted to clarify

[@身世成谜]

C is good at memory manipulation, and C++ can be more powerful in code organization. Cause C++ has the virtual function feature, it's a little slower than C.

[@Yorgarazgreece]

There is nothing you can't do in C++ that you can in C. That being said, some of the C++ features will require additional resources which in embedded systems, may be very limited. This is why in many operating systems, the very core is written in C and not C++.

[@TheCherno]

None; Visual Studio just uses the MSVC compiler by default (which is also sometimes referred to as Visual C++). This is just Microsoft's C++ compiler, much like clang or gcc. You can run it from the command line if you like (cl.exe or MSBuild for more power).
