    Possibly not worth the effort now, but using a graphical IDE with a built-in debugger can be more convenient. It can readily display what variables are in scope and their values, and allow you to easily compare the result of multiple watch expressions for consistency.
    It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
    A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
    Had he known what fire was,
    He could have cooked his rice much sooner.

    Might as well at this point...does anyone have a link for the version of microsoft visual studio that fits my purposes? (basically just messing around with simple programs, but also has advanced features for when I improve at C++)

    Yes, but a search for "microsoft visual studio express" would yield it

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
