Top 5 IDEs for C++ Development

IDEs or Integrated Development Environments are software applications that facilitate developing computer programmes and software on a single or multiple programming languages. IDEs can be language-specific or may support multiple languages. IDEs make it easier for developers to write programs, find faults, and debug them. They are a significant improvement over command line interfaces because of the extensive provisions they offer.

 The components contained in an IDE can be usually classified into three major categories: a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. In some cases, an IDE may also have an interpreter or a compiler or both. Examples of such IDEs are NetBeans and Eclipse. However, there are others that may not have any interpreter or compiler. Examples could include SharpDevelop or Lazarus.
