TDDE79 Imperative programming in C++

Overview

Lab environment setup

The tools you need to program C++ is an editor for writing code, gcc (for compilation) and a console/terminal running a shell, for example bash.
You have several choices when it comes to text editors, below is a list of some, all are available on the university's computers:

• Emacs
• Vim (can be quite hard)
• Visual Studio Code

To install Visual Studio Code you can follow the steps described on the course website.

Learning and configuring the editor to your liking is completly up to you, and out of scope of this course, as such the assistants will not necessarily be able to help you with such questions.

The school computers are preconfigured with all the tools necessary to complete the labs.
