Dev C++ Vs Visual Studio 10 (Onward  Versions )

this was major question asked by the student enrolled in BSCS/BSSE/BSIT/BSEE  who is working or having a lab course related to programming portion. so, I try my best to answer this question by stating IDE's differences and their scope.

Dev C++ issues :
  • redefinition errors even you initialize a variable in one loop and then try to use that variable in another loop it will pop you an error containing redefinition string.
 Example: as you know the scope of the loop variable is only in the loop for instant loop ones i is unknown to loop 2 but in dev, it considers it as the same variable.
         for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
       {
          printf("%d",i);
      }
     for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
       printf("%d",i);
   }
  • Dev C++ is not update. no new version has published since it developed.
  • this tool is obsolete and it has no use in the software industry or any freelancing firm as this tool doesn't support plugins.

Visual Studio Tool :
  • support multiple languages such as c++,c, c#, python etc
  • continuously updating their version 
  • better visuals
  • smooth and fast compiling 
  • better application interface 
  • industry uses this tool for various projects 
Conclusion:
both tools are good for simple programming questions and projects but when it comes to the development or real-time project development I recommend the visual studio as we have seen it's benefits and applications.
