You know how for HTML there's Notepad?
What is the compiler/executer/application for running C++ offline?
And what would be the absolute best choice (For free)?
Can I also get free applications for C# and whatever else that can help in game development and app development

Answer 1

CodeBlocks is not a Compiler. Its just an IDE that helps you write and save codes, and provide features like code completion, syntax markup, etc.

You can use notepad to save C++ codes. But to compile them, you need compilers like GCC or MSVC, just like you need a web browser for HTML.
