C++

wordle C++ is the object-oriented development of C with classes, member functions, operator overloading, constructors etc. It's the first language taught to undergraduates at CUED.

Mixing Languages on linux
C++ and the main function

We have various IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) providing easy access to the compiler (which is g++ on the linux machines). Geany is used in the 1st year course. If you want to work away from CUED see

To use C++2011 on the central linux system, type

g++5 --std=c++11

With that version, the following should compile

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>

int main()
{
    std::string str("1231");
    std::regex r("^(\\d)\\d"); // entire match will be 2 numbers
    std::smatch m;
    std::regex_search(str, m, r);
    for(auto v: m) std::cout << v << std::endl;
}

When run, it should produce this output

Integrated Development Environments

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) offers integrated editing, compiling, debugging and project-management facilities. On the teaching system we currently have Anjuta (version 1) , Geany , NetBeans (with a C++ add-on), Eclipse and codeblocks
