In my Computer Science Textbook (Britannica Live Wire Class 8 to be specific), the C++ IDE used is labeled and called under various instances as "Turbo C++" or "Turbo C++ IDE". It also uses fully ANSI/ISO (C++98 I believe) compliant C++ and runs natively on the Command Prompt on Windows 7 (I'm not sure of the bits). What's weird is that I researched for months on end but in vain. Does anyone know of such a version of Turbo C++? My school uses the run-of-the-mill Turbo C++ 3.0 in DOSBox and teaches us the old standard (the CBSE (India) syllabus still uses C++ from 1983). Can anyone please tell me if such a version exists and please provide a download/purchase link if so? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Also look at these screenshots according to textbook.
I have never seen any "Output" window in TC++. Also note the header on the screenshots: #include <iostream.h>. In the program examples given in the textbook, we always have #include <iostream> (note the lack of a .h extension).
Now the program as printed. (I included the image to prove I didn't copy it wrong)
When put into text, it is
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello Earth!\n";
cout<< "I love my country.\n";
return 0;
}
Note that in two particular programs #include <iostream.h> is used in the examples too along with using namespace std;. This is either
Can someone please enlighten me on this matter?
No, there is not. Turbo C++ is not C++98 compliant, and it was not developed since 2003, so there's no chance of ever getting a version. C++11 and C++14 are of course also not existing. I really don't get why Turbo C++ is used as a standard in India, it teaches an obsolete and cryptic style. It might not help you with your syllabus, but I'd try gcc or clang, if you really want to learn C++ - both are open-source.
You can refer to this thread, for mor information, why Turbo C++ is a bad idea: Why not to use Turbo C++?
