Greetings

I have am trying to learn c++ and other programing programs however I started on windows but now I would like to use linux redhat 8.0. However I cant seem to finde the program to run c++.
On windows it was a all in one program. I have installed everything that was related to programing on linux when I installed it. so it there some where where is it and is it all in one or do wright the text in a text program then compile it (note I have not found a compiler under programing tab)

also what is vi and Emacs I have them both but the book that i have that talks about them is not very clear

Thank you all

vi and emacs are just text editors, i personally dont like them but they are supposedly great when you get used to them.

anyway, as for a C++ compiler, its called gcc, and, no, you dont have to pay for it

Write a C++ program in any text editor, than open the Gnome terminal and type:

g++ filename.cpp
./a.out

Code:

#include<iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main() {
  cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  return 0;
}

Make sure to include the end line manipulator or else you will not see any output in the console because it will be hidden by the prompt.

You could also try Kylix by Borland. It's a great C++ (and Delphi) IDE that is free for non-commercial use. It's not specific to any particular desktop environment. http://www.borland.com/kylix/
