    Question Environment/IDE?

    Can anyone tell me what a good IDE should have, or what to look for in choosing a programming environment?

    This is what I am looking for -

    Free (got no $$)
    Educational use (license or whatever)
    Tells you when you do stupid things (like forgetting ; at the end of a line and stuff)

    This is what I use -

    djgpp compiler
    pcgrasp IDE for little programs
    jgrasp IDE for big programs (folding scopes)

    I find them somewhat useful, in that they are better than anything else I have tried, which is nothing.


    I am new to this board, so if this is OT please tell me.

    download bloodshed dev c/c++/windows compiler. it's a high quality, free IDE.
    Code:
    int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000
    <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan
    (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000
    )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}

    I think your next move is to Bloodshed's DevC++. It's free.
    I use the MSVC++ compiler and I'll be checking out Borland's C++ Builder this week so I'll be able to comment on it later (I like using JBuilder).
