 * Getting to Know Dev-C++ **

As you went through with your previous computer / Info. Tech. classes, you probably already got familiar with few programming environments (software programs like. Flash MX, Scratch 1.4, Firework MX, Dreamweaver MX, Araneae, etc.)

So, there are many software programs in the world to help you to do programming and these programs can be called **__ “intergraded development environments” (IDE) __**. An IDE is a software application that provides a user-friendly platform for programmers that provides comprehensive programming facilities like a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build automation tools, a debugger, etc.

A compiler translates [|computer programming codes (Java, C, C++, actionscript, etc.)] into computer instructions for computer to execute the program.

The intergraded development environment (IDE) that you are going to learn is Dev-C++

1. open Dev-C++ 2. Create a new source file Or  3. Copy and paste the follow codes:
 * #include **
 * use namespace for standard C++ library to make definitions available **


 * int main **


 * cout << “My first C++ program”; **


 * cin.get; **
 * return(0); **
 * } **


 * You can use the above code as a starting point for every exercise. **

4. Compile and run the program:

5. Read the following link to understand the structure of a C++ program.

You have to copy and paste the last demo program for all 5 tutorials, compile them with no problem and hand them in.
