programming

[mzscientific]

i'm a freshman in college and when i go to present programs to my teacher it doesn't load with the complier on the school's computer . i wanted to know what is the best programming compiler and is there one compiler that is compatible with other compilers as well.

You should probably state what programming language you are talking about. Additional useful information could be the operating systems used on your computer and the college computers.

And whatever error message the teacher's compiler gives.

Why don't you just use the same one your school uses? Talk to your professor/instructor, he'll probably give you a copy for free.

Other than that, without a language or OS, the only other advice I can give is make sure you adhere strictly to the language standards (such as Ansi for C) in your programs.

my bad C++ programming

[mzscientific]

my computer is windows vista and the schools is windows xp

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

So are you compiling with Visual C++ or something then? You might want to check to make sure you're not using functions only available in Vista.

I'd recommend using the GNU C++, there are sometimes IDE problems across OS's but normally using the pure compiler fixes them...

maybe the teachers(or yours) compiler uses an older standard of the C++ language.

 

i tried compiling some code i made years ago and it wouldn't compile because some of the code was no longer code or not in the correct layout. digging out an old C++ compiler soon fixed that.
