No problem. Your hard-to-type handle is more annoying to me than a minor rules infraction. :)

If you are going to use g++ under a Windows OS an alternative is to use MinGW which is a Windows port of the GNU compilers. Also check out Code::blocks, which is an IDE supporting theses compilers (and many more).

I may be dumb, but I never could figure out what files I needed to download for g++. So I stuck with MSVS.

Dev-C++ uses a compiler based off of GCC called MinGW. All you need to do is download the Dev-C++ executable and it has everything already included in it.

@All: I was only messing with the O.P.'s head. I knew he is using Windows so I recommended g++. What he wants to do is have everything handed to him.

Yeah, that was evident to me, especially as I know that, even if you've never used it (not sure here), you know of DevC++. While it's not surprising the OP got confused, it's funny to see everyone else take you seriously. ;)

Back on topic, I'd suggest DevC++ as a good starting place. Another easy choice would be the express edition of VC++. I pick these because they're both free for download and include everything you need to get started. This isn't to say there won't be better options, but better is highly subjective.

lol Yeah, you're right. I would have mentioned Code::Blocks or Dev-C++ but people like the O.P. just really annoy me!
