Difference between C++ and VC++

[hrishiS]

Hi to All, I had this question came up. What is the differrence between C++ and VC++. What I think is that, VC++ is an IDE . It is the same as C++, with an visual environment with ease of creating applications. I want to clarify, if I am correct?Or if any othere points we need to mention for the same question. Thanks in advance

C++ in general refers to the language, independent of compiler.There are various compilers for C++ like C++ in windows(VC++),linux(GCC) etc. VC++ is Microsoft's Compiler of C++,with it's own libraries primarily developed for MS Operating Systems. This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers#C.2FC.2B.2B_compilers[^] should help you. Hope that gives a start
