Dear candidate,

To get started with C or C++, what you’ll want in most cases, at the very least, is a compiler—although nowadays you can also learn C online by experimenting a bit with “hello world” C projects in-browser.

Compilers are programs that can be run through command-line interfaces (CLIs). They read the entire program and convert it into object code, which is a translation of the program source code into a form that the computer can execute directly.

To make life easier, you can go for full-fledged IDEs that can make your experience with C or C++ even more pleasant.

Books are a great way learn in-depth about a programming language. With a lot of great explanation of how intricate functionalities of a programming language work, knowledge from a good book on C or C++ can give you the upper edge while using these languages for your projects.

• C in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference (2nd Edition) by Peter Prinz and Tony Crawford

• The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie

• The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition) by Bjarne Stroustrup

Hope the answer is helpful.

All the best!
