C++ Latest Version to Practice coding

[ATh]

Hi, i am looking for way to practice coding in latest version of C++ that is in use in market for professionals. Currently i am using Dev C++ Ver 5.11. I would like to upgrade my software version to latest. Can any of the C++ experts show me or provide me the way to download latest version. I get to problem with old version while coding 2 Dimensional array. Ver 5.11 did not support lambda functions. Looking forward for help and suggestions. Thank you in advance.

If you are using Windows getting Visual Studio 2017 might be a good idea:

Visual Studio 2017 Community is free.

There is also Visual Studio Code, a less bulky IDE.

Hi,
I tried running code for 2D array in VS '17 with Win32 console. I still cannot run 2D array. It gives me error message.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
const int row = 2;
const int column = 2;

int main()
{


int count;
int count1;
int array[row][column];

for (count = 0; count<row; count++)
{
for (count1 = 0; count1<column; count1++)
{
cout << "Enter array element for " << [count][count1] << " : ";
cin >> array[count][count1];
}
}

for (count = 0; count<row; count++)
{
for (count1 = 0; count1<column; count1++)
{
cout << "Array element you entered for " << [count][count1] << " is: " << endl;
}
}

return 0;
}

Any idea what i am missing thank you for your time and help.

What are you trying to print out with this bit of code?
cout << "Enter array element for " << [count][count1]

Maybe something like this?

1 2 3 4

cout << "\nEnter array element for " << count << ":" << count1 << " : "; cin >> array[count][count1];

Enter array element for 0:0 : 1 Enter array element for 0:1 : 2 Enter array element for 1:0 : 3 Enter array element for 1:1 : 4

Hi wildblue,

Yes you are correct, that's it. I tried it after the way you highlighted and it works perfect as i was expecting. It works in Dev C++ 4.11 but at same time as FurryGuy suggested VS '17 i got a taste of it and should start getting used to it too. Not a issue with software version.

I really appreciate for your time looking into the issue and bailing me out, if not i would have been spending another few more days and finally give up or just hanging there to solve the issue without catching hint.

Respect!

Updated code is:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

const int column = 2;

int count,
count1;
int array [row][column];

for( count=0;count<row;count++)
{
for( count1=0;count1<column;count1++)
{
cout<<"Enter array element for "<<count<<":"<<count1<<" : ";
cin>>array[count][count1];
}
}

for( count=0;count<row;count++)
{
for(count1=0;count1<column;count1++)
{

cout<<"Array element you entered for "<<count<<":"<<count1<<" is: "<<array[count][count1]<<endl;
}
}
cout<<array[1][0];

return 0;
}
