What are the names of the compilers/interpreters that you would suggest for coding in a platform?

Most of us love coding, isn't it. But I guess all of us aren't aware of all the programming platforms(compilers/interpreters)! So, I've asked this General Questions so that you all can share your own experience with any of the language processors available out there! [I agree I've specifically asked for Microsoft Windows. But I will surely appericiate answers for other OS's like Linux, MacOS and Android too]

This compiler (Visual Studio) is the best! You can code in Visual Basic, C++, C#, SQL, HTML, ASP.net, and now you can create apps for Android, iOS, and Windows. Can't get any better than this. I recommend this compiler out of experience. I hope thos helps you in your coding journey.

For Python, *[Windows] : I must suggest the 'Python 2.7.12' interpreter for Coding in Python 2.x and 'Python 3.5+' interpreter for Coding in Python 3.x #Download them at www.python.org *[Android] : Use 'QPython' interpreter for Coding in Python 2.x and 'QPython 3' interpreter for coding in Python 3.x #Download them from Play Store

For HTML, using a normal text editor is enough! But, if you're coding in windows, I suggest using 'notepad++' ! Just don't forget to save the code in *.html or *.htm file format. Then, open the code file in a browser to get the output!

→C++ (for windows) Try Digital Mars : http://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/Patch/dm857c.zip (If Above link Fails, try it) http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html Digital Mars C/C++ is a drop-in replacement for the Symantec C++ compiler, with support for compiling programs for Win32, Windows 3.1, MSDOS, and 32-bit extended MSDOS. If the target machine does not have a floating point processor (pre-Pentium machines), you can link the floating point emulation into your program. The compiler supports the C++ definition found in The Annotated C++ Reference Manual (ARM) and the enhanced language features of AT&T version 3.0, including templates, nested classes, nested types, exception handling, and runtime type identification.

@Chirag Bhansali :-) Yes Bro, That'll surely lend me a self-learner badge! But Honestly speaking, This is a most-in-one! As I've never got one such badge of self-learner, I'll definitely get that! Also, I was curious to know the language preprocessors/processors used worldwide; I'll learn that as well! So if you know one, please post! Cheers ;-)

@Karla Galarza Thanks a lot! This will surely help me in my coding journey! Just wanted to ask : "Is it capable even of showing outputs(running codes) as well?"

@Tusiime Innocent Boub, The best answer(according to me : that of @Karla Galarza) is already marked here! And believe me, the answer isn't simply marked as best! As it was most helpful, I guess that one deserves it! ★_★ If you wish to give a better answer and deserve the ‘best answer' tick, try : [1] Answering a better one out there [2] Giving an Answer that is more(and better) informative and is applicable for most of Languages! [3] Recommending some really efficient softwares for language processing! I hope you'll get that Soon! ; ) Cheers!

For Java, *[In Windows] Must see NetBeans! Other Apps spread globally are Eclipse, BlueJ, Dr. Java, AppCode and Android Studio along with JDK! *[In Android] Use Anacode IDE. Not only Java, but it also supports C/C++! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majosoft.anacode

for HTML or JavaScript some very good compilers are there like - Brackets [ = ] and Atom . @harshit I won't suggest notepad++ as it takes way too much time to code , doesn't show error messages and is quite boring .

Well these are the compilers that I know: Code:Block, JCreator LE and Pro versions, NetBeans, Eclipse, C-Free, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Notepad++. Certainly there are others but these are the ones I've used.

Looks like no one has discovered AIDE IDE for Java and Android development for Android devices. Yes! It does Run Java and Android on your smartphone. It even has tutorials for beginners in Android Development. How Cool is that?! Google Play Store link👇 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui @Harshit Gupta, Now that you got the Self Learner badge, do someone a favour and give them a Best Answer qualification.

For java netbeans, eclipse or drjava, or javac command on cmd if you have the java jdk for python you dont need a compiler use the interpreter/terminal if on linux(python command) c++/c gcc on linux, visual studio on windows(can be used for several languages), or bloodshed c++, and codeblocks for linux/windows(also used for Fortran), eclipse CDT. hope this helps

For web development, if you want to be fast but no syntax checks then use "Sublime 3" but otherwise "Net beans and Dreamweaver" can cut it.
