C++ Get Started. To start using C++, you need two things: A text editor, like Notepad, to write C++ code; A compiler, like GCC, to translate the C++ code into a language that the computer will understand; There are many text editors and compilers to choose from. In this tutorial, we will use an IDE (see below).

C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs. C++ is portable and can be used to develop applications that can be adapted to multiple platforms. C++ is fun and easy to learn!
