I need to know how to program in c++ in linux in windows i used to use turbo c++ ver 3.0, but now i have slackware 9 and wanna know how to program cpp files,
for ex where to type in the code, hot to compile the code and how to run the compiled file.

Please help me

well, in linux a C++ compiler is installed by default: G++

You can edit your source files with any text editor you want (I prefer those with syntax highlighting like kate or nedit), then from command line you only need to type

g++ source.cpp -o binary.name

this will compile and link your source file (source.cpp), giving to the resulting binary the name "binary.name" (you can choose any name you want).

For further informations (and there are many...) type "man g++" and/or google a little bit around

Ah, to launch you binary you need to type "./binary.name" and voilà!

good luck

I find easier to use emacs.
when you want to compile just click tools->compile and type what sNicker said. You'll see the error messages right there in another window below the text.
