Question

How can I use C++ on my laptop?

Technist

Community Answer

If you have internet access, you can use an online IDE (do a Google search). If you want to save files and/or work on a project, then it is better to download and install an offline compiler and IDE.

Question

What do I do if I get an error message while learning C++ programming?

Pingu

Top Answerer

Getting an error message happens quite often while learning programming. The first thing to do is to check whether there is an obvious mistake in your program; for example, if you forgot a semicolon or a bracket. If you checked and there are no such mistakes, you can try searching for the error message on the internet, which will often give you an explanation on why such errors happen and how to avoid them. If read the message carefully, it may also give an idea of what the problem is. Last, try searching for concept errors: that's when you think your code does one thing, but it actually does something different and gives you an error.

Question

What are the features of a low level programming language?

Technist

Community Answer

Low-level programming languages are typically faster than high-level ones. You might have heard that C++ is known for its speed? That's one of the key points. But due to this, it is also less human-readable (compared to high-level languages).

Question

How do I remove viruses from my PC through C++?

Community Answer

Download MalwareBytes. It is a free anti-virus, otherwise you'll have to code your own anti-virus. So personally I would stick to normal anti-virus software instead of coding it, as it's faster and easier, especially if you already have a virus loaded onto your PC.
