How can i complile a C++ code using only notepad?
yes.





go here: http://gcc.gnu.org/








and download the C++ compiler,





then from there open it up, it will be a bash shell and you can compile code like





g++ blah.cpp -o blah_name_of_exe





and to run ./blah








if ur used to dev, you dont need system("PAUSE"); at the end of ur code, and it will prolly give you errors if you do it








from notepad remember to save ur files with .cpp extensions





u might wanna try downloading notepad ++ it is the same thing as notepad but has syntax highlighting
Reply:You will still need a compiler (g++, cl). But you can edit the source files (*.cpp) in notepad and then run make.





Normally, when you develop you use a program called 'make' or 'nmake' to do your compile/link process using something called a Makefile. He might of been doing that.
Reply:I don't think Java requires compiling, what with its byte-code and all. I might be wrong.
