    > 1. Does the C++ compiler which is available at Intel website come with IDE?
    Probably not.

    > If not which IDE can i use for it?
    Any you like.
    Compilers just read files and write files. Any IDE capable of generating command lines to drive a compiler should have no troubles.

    > 2. What is meant by unsigned char?
    Make a really wild guess and say what you think it is.


    > 3. How can i update Dev C++ with the latest gcc version?
    Probably with great difficulty.
    Get MinGW for starters, then read how they update the compiler to the newest version.
    My guess is, if you need to ask Q2, then Q3 isn't going to happen.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    2. What is meant by unsigned char?
    char is a byte in memory which can hold an integer value. When it is signed it can hold both negative and positive numbers in addition of zero. When it is unsigned, it only holds positive numbers in addition of zero.

    I believe we abolished that policy back in t'old days when me ol' budge were 19 an' I weren't even an embryo.
    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    I'm beginning to think it's a futile effort.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    I think if somebody can't findout what "unsigned char" is, by its spelling. He/She needs help.
