I know that everyone uses an IDE nowadays, but I just find it simpler to write my code in notepad++, compile it using a command prompt command, and run it from there too. At least that works for Java and Python. I've tried to get my head around how to do that with C++, and haven't been able to find anything good. Is there any compiler (like Java's JDK) that I can stick into my path and use the C++ equivalent of javac and java to run and compile my code from CMD?
Note: please don't post answers and comments about how IDEs are better - I know they are. I'm just used to doing it the old way :D

To do this, press the Windows key, type cmd , right-click Command Prompt, and then select Run as Administrator. Once the prompt window is open, double-check that the compiler installed properly (and that the environment variables are set) by running the command gcc -- version at the prompt.
The cmd or cmd.exe is the MS-DOS command prompt. The cmd is executed when the MS-DOS or command prompt started in Windows. The “cmd /c” is a popular usage where the “/c” is provided to execute a specified string as a command in MS-DOS. After the provided command execution is completed the created shell will be closed.
Steps to perform the task:
First, download and install the compiler.
Then, type the C/C++ program and save it.
Then, open the command line and change directory to the particular one where the source file is stored, using cd like so:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\... Then, to compile, type in the command prompt:
gcc sourcefile_name.c -o outputfile.exe Finally, to run the code, type:
outputfile.exe If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
