Compatibility Notes

The ANSI-C++ standard acceptation as an international standard is relatively recent. It was first published in November 1997, and revised in 2003. Nevertheless, the C++ language exists from a long time before (1980s). Therefore there are many compilers which do not support all the new capabilities included in ANSI-C++, especially those released prior to the publication of the standard. This tutorial is thought to be followed with modern compilers that support -at least on some degree- ANSI-C++ specifications. I encourage you to get one if yours is not adapted. There are many options, both commercial and free.

Compilers
The examples included in this tutorial are all console programs. That means they use text to communicate with the user and to show their results. All C++ compilers support the compilation of console programs. Check the user's manual of your compiler for more info on how to compile them.
