https://turboc.codeplex.com/ but for serious. just get updated stuff to learn modern c++ at home with. www.visualstudio.com codeblocks.org Pretty sure you will need to forget much of the methods they will teach you.. so yeah.. suuuucks they are still teaching prestandard c++ at schools.

It's sad that some schools are still teaching pre-standard C++. Shows that some authorities are just providing education for the sake of... providing education. To be honest, even universities do this crap - My finals included code samples which won't compile on any version. This is why I am on SL, most people IRL show no concern at learning correct stuff, and when you try to point out the flaws, you get looks as if you are some kind of elitist.

https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/288609/?ref=app If you still need it for whatever purposes, you may search the web for Turbo C++ compilers.

search turbo c++ on google.. I seriously recommend you question your teacher as to why they are teaching you 30 year old+ methods though.

which ide did you use? that code will not work in a modern c++ compiler you will need to type: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello, World!" << endl; return 0; }

You mentioned your computer lab being old. Is that just the C++ compiler or OS and other software. If it's the entire system, I'd recommend AntiX Linux be installed. It's Debian-based (no systemd though) and super light. Can run on a P3. There's plenty software for coding and learning. Even lighter, you could customise a Debian system from netinst CD (build in from ground up). Fluxbox is a full DE that uses almost no memory. Another option is TinyCore Linux since one of their targets is embedded, the core is +/- 7MB and X + Fluxbox or Openbox should cost very little. Just my 2 cents, but you can't learn on outdated stuff at school.

But, seriously It does not make sense to ask for an outdated complier.

I also think that schools must get updated with their softwares so that their students don't get outdated in their knowledge of any programming language especially C++ @Valentin. Then what's the use of teaching? My school also still uses turbo C++ for their students and not the modern compilers like Visual C++ or GNU C++. That's what it is good to learn all those by our own like here
