There are many different C++ code editors, and in fact it is at least theoretically possible to develop C++ source code in any text editor.
Microsoft Visual Studio Code
In this Nanodegree Program, we will demonstrate many of the programming examples using Microsoft Visual Studio Code. You are welcome, but not required, to use this editor.
Visual Studio Code is a powerful, free, and open-source editor that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
“Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go) and runtimes (such as .NET and Unity). Begin your journey with VS Code with these introductory videos.”
If you use Visual Studio Code to develop C++ applications, Microsoft suggests installing the free C/C++ extension.
