Code Editors

Code editors and IDEs are programs specifically designed for editing, managing and writing source code. They offer a wide range of features that make the development process easier and faster. Here's a brief introduction to some of the most popular code editors and IDEs for C++:

  • Visual Studio: Visual Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Windows, developed by Microsoft. It includes its own integrated compiler known as Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC).

  • Visual Studio Code (VSCode): Visual Studio Code is a popular, free, open-source, and lightweight code editor developed by Microsoft. It offers an extensive library of extensions that enhance functionality for C++ development.

  • Sublime Text: Sublime Text is a cross-platform text editor that is quite popular among developers due to its speed and minimalist design. It supports C++ with the help of plugins and has a variety of themes and packages available for customization.

  • CLion: CLion is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) developed by JetBrains specifically for C and C++ developers. It provides advanced features like code completion, refactoring support, debugging, and more. It's worth noting that CLion is a commercial IDE, and there is no community version available; users are required to purchase a license for usage.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other code editors available, including Atom, Notepad++, and Geany. They all have their features and may suit different developers' needs. Finding the right code editor is often a matter of personal preference and workflow.

To work with C++ in your chosen code editor, you often need to install some additional tools and add-ons, such as compilers, linters, and debugger support. Make sure to follow the instructions provided in the editor's documentation to set up C++ correctly.
