How to download and install DEV-C++

DEV-C++ is a lightweight, free integrated development environment (IDE) designed for C and C++ programming. It’s easy to install and use, with no complex configuration required—making it ideal for beginners. It supports standard C/C++ syntax, offers basic code editing features (like syntax highlighting and auto-completion), and includes a built-in compiler to run programs directly. Its simple interface helps new learners focus on coding rather than setup, and it works well on Windows systems. It’s widely used for learning, small projects, and practicing programming basics.
