Generally you can write all languages on notepad because they are just text. A compiler will only know what it is if it has the right extension such as .java or .cpp. But if you are new to coding Notepad is essentially used by no one because it does simply let's you type text in. It will get frustrating because it does not tell you where your errors are. If you save the file as .java,. cpp, or .css in Notepad++ or Sublime text editors, they automatically color key words so you know your syntax is correct. They are just text editors like Notepad so they are small programs but have more features. If you know exactly what you are doing and can only use Notepad for any reason then yes you can use Notepad.

Yes but using a text editor like net beans make it faster and for example if u want to use colors name instead of rgb or etc it shows u name and color at the same time.
