hello every one
this is first time in this forum and very first post.
I am really interested in learning c++. I am mac user and before i start learning c++ could anyone Please tell me if i need different version of c++ complier or i will be fine with any c++ compiler. ( sorry if my question sound too naive). Any suggestion for better place to download compiler will be appreciated as so many links popup when i tried to do a search.
Thanks in advance
Jump to PostWelcome to DaniWeb Peeta. You can use almost any compiler that is targeted for your operating system. For example you can not use a compiler for MS-Windows on a MAC and vice versa.
Jump to PostDid you read the Read Me threads at the top of this c++ board? If not then you should because there is lots of helpful information -- and without popups.

Thanx dragon you pointed me in right direction
Ancient dragon thank you for your previous advice and i did look up in those search results An it popup so many links and i do not have much knowledge it making me bit confusing. What i make of all these links that i have to download Xcode or code warrior. but i have doubts about it and if i download one of this will i be able to code just as other c++ compiler.

I haven't used a mac for quite some time so I could be wrong, but don't most macs come with g++ these days? You can use it from your Console utility and should be a sufficient compiler for a starter programmer.
