Is there any application on or off the App Store which i can download on my MacBook Pro which is exactly the same as Turbo C++ and uses the same type of commands an libraries for coding. I'm using codelite which I'm not very happy using. I have tried Xcode as well, but feel like making C++ programs is not the easiest job.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Turbo C++ was designed for DOS and Windows - released in 1990 and last updated in 2006.
The obvious C++ compiler on macOS would be the one that comes with Xcode, which used to be GCC but is now LLVM.
Your best bet is probably to rewrite your Turbo C++ code using similar MacOS/Unix commands as needed, or find some kind of library that has already done this.
You could also possibly run Turbo C++ directly via Wine, Bootcamp or a DOS/Windows VM (Virtual Machine).
#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
float amt;
cout<< “\n enter amount of product”;
cin>> amt;
if(amt <= 500)
{
float x;
cout<< “\n discount=0” ;
x= amt;
cout<< “\n billed amount” <<x;
}
if((amt >= 501)&&(amt <= 2000))
{
float x;
cout<< “\n discount=5%”;
x=(amt/100)*95;
cout<< “\n billed amount” <<x;
}
if((amt >= 2001)&&(amt <= 3000))
{
float x;
cout<< “\n discount=10%”;
x=(amt/100)*90;
cout<< “\n billed amount” <<x ;
}
if(amt >= 3001)
{
float x;
cout<< “\n discount=15%” ;
x=(amt/100)*85;
cout<< “\n billed amount” <<x;
}
getchar();
}
The above code is a small sample of what coding i have to do for school purpose, and i can run this without any difficulties on Turbo C++. When i try running the similar code on either codelite or under the C++ option under Xcode, I'm unable too. Please suggest an alternative if any

Why not?
Search for C++ on this forum. Super-user Etresoft often tells people to just use a text editor and run llvm directly without using XCode.
That being said, have you tried just using XCode while creating a command-line tool? That gives you the most Turbo-C like environment.
Hello dhruvdd2000,
That is an ancient dialect of C++. You would have difficulty finding a compiler that would do anything with it.
The first thing you need to do is remove the old DOS-specific console I/O references. Remove the "conio.h" header and the "clrscr" function.
Then, change <iostream.h> to just <iostream>.
Then add "using namespace std;" after the include statements.
Finally, change the main() function to return int.
Then, if you compile it with a C++ compiler - g++ or clang++, it should build and you can run it.
Thank you for the helpful reply @etersoft. 🙂
