Why I prefer Turbo C++ over other C/C++ Compilers

 I simply love Turbo C++ IDE for learning C/C++ language. I always recommended to C/C++ learner to start learning C/C++ through Turbo C++ as it is fun while learning in this IDE. There are many things which you can do in Turbo C++ which you cant do in other compilers like gcc and g++. 

Although Turbo C++ is not supported in modern windows OS  like Windows 10 and 11 as they don't have support for  DOS OS support anymore. But you can still enjoy it using DOS emulator called DOSBOX. 

Some of the things which you cant perform with gcc and g++ compiler easily or you need to depend upon  third party libraries are

  • Changing Fore and Background Colors in Text Mode:
  • System BIOS Calls
  • Hardware Interaction through printer ports
  • Computer Graphics
There are many other C/C++ IDE's which are supported in Windows environment like DEV CPP etc, but they are all uses gcc or g++ compiler.

Most Important feature of Turbo C++ IDE is built in help and code samples and context sensitive help.  if you need to see documentation for any header file or function  you just need to put cursor on that word and go to Help Menu.

You will also get sample code from documentation.
