To update the turbo c compiler you must have permission to uninstall the existing compiler and manually install the new one. I have no personal experience to this site but I would probably use this place to manage this: https://turboc.codeplex.com A virtual machine is an operating system or application-environment that is installed on software, which imitates dedicated hardware. The end user has the same experience on a virtual machine as they would have on dedicated hardware. A VM is a must-have for any professional programmer whrn running untested code in vulnerable environment. A virtual machine is often used to analyze program behavioural pattern, such as: malicious software in security tests etc. Hope this helped you out. Keep keeping me updated. :) Gosh speed. Dr

right-click the .exe file and click on properties at the bottom. go to compatibility and pick an older operative system. this adapts it to run in that version. a neat trick any professional programmer must know. :) Hope this helped you on your quest. Dr.

Hmm, have you any chance of updating the compiler? Today there are still updated turbo c compilers for modern computers. Hope this helped. Dr.

If an update is not an option you can consider to run your codes on a virtual machine or in a server-side environment. either one should work but might require a bit more work to setup. Keep me updated. Dr.

Happy to see you again, Gulshan Bhadoria. Did you try to reinstall the turbo c compiler? What went wrong? To answer your question: Yes, from your screen, it is just an extra window. Furthermore... A Virtual Machine is sometimes referred to a "sandbox", which describes it fairly well. It has many valuable applications but the most unique one is that It look and acts exactly like a computer, only that it isn't. Experiment: If you release an aggressive malware (category: virus) to a VM it will act exactly like a computer but it does not damage it and a quick reboot resets everything to square one. In IT-corporations, especially in the security department, a logger sometime is used in a VM to trace the progress of this very experiment. And yes, it works for your request as well. Dr.

Turbo C++ is very old at the moment. Try using Code Blocks or other IDE

@The PGDeveloper but the problem is that Turbo C++ is in use in our university lab therefore I have to use that at home.

Okay... Let's just get it right. Just because everyone does it, you don't have to. Install GCC, or CLion, or Eclipse for C

The compilers you mentioned here do use the line as 'using namespace std' ?
