| Turbo C++ is an IDE - the language itself is just a language and not an application. A computer programming language is like a dialect which a programmer uses to communicate with a computer, via a compiler, which translates the language into machine code (I think this is what MrPickle was getting at)
Do a google search for C++ IDE's or compilers and pick one which takes your fancy. an IDE is an application/development environment which generally includes all the tools you need to write and compile programs. Turbo C++ is an example of one, Visual C++ is another. You'll also come across names such as Dev C++ and Code::Blocks, which are all decent, up-to-date IDEs. Code::Blocks seems to be particularly good for beginners to the language, but its a matter of personal taste
Incidentally, if you've used C++ before, and your previous encounters have involved a very old MS-DOS-based version of Borland's Turbo C/Turbo C++, then you ought to brace yourself for a huge shock, since the C++ language has been massively and fundamentally changed since Turbo C was originally released in 1992. You might want accompany your new IDE with a good, up-to-date book which will give you a broad overview of the language as it is today. |
