I installed turbo c++ on my Mac but isn't working on my Mac. It may be due to its 32 bit version so suggest me any app or something else that could help in using c++ on my Mac...
I don't want to program on python, but on c++!!!
No 32-bit applications work on Catalina, and that includes the ancient turbo C++. Apple has the command line tools for Xcode which is a full C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++ compilation environment with support for C++17 — but does not install 8GB+ of Xcode.
In the Terminal application in Catalina, type the following on the command-line, and follow it with a return. It will trigger a prompt asking if you want to install the mentioned compilation suite (which now includes Python3):
python3
Then you can use clang or clang++ to compile your code. Be forewarned that there is much stronger typing now than in the days of Turbo C++, so you may be faced with code changes:
clang++ --help
clang++ -Oz -o foo foo.C [-stdlib=libc++] [-std=c++17]
You should read more carefully.
Typing python3 in the Catalina Terminal is a keyword that triggers the operating system to prompt for the installation of the Command Line Tools for Xcode (of which python3 is now a part). Once installed, you have the relevant C++ compiler, headers, and libraries available. You can ignore python3.
ok thanks
how to use c++ on mac without installing Xcode??
