To run a program in any programming language, we require :

a) A text editor, for writing the source code

b) A compiler, for translating the source code into a machine understandable format.

After trying a lot of IDEs (don’t want to name any), I found the paticular approach most efficient for the first time programmers. It has a minimal interface and focus only what is required.

We are going to use :

a) Sublime Text as our text editor

b) g++ as our compiler.

Installation process is different for different operating system.

Windows
