I need help trying to find a good computer programming software for beginners because i have downloaded one and it doesnt work when i type:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

The software is not the problem. What you have there is a program with at least 10 errors at a quick count.

What are you using to learn?

I am using a program called "Just BASIC v1.01" and I am not currently using any thing to learn how to program. Just like youtube and online tutorials.

Ahhh, that's why it looked like BASIC. This is a C forum, not BASIC.

You need to look up BASIC Language tutorials -- like this one.
And keep in mind each computer programming software you find will have differences so some of the commands won't work.

Oh ok, Thank you. Do you recommend me starting off using BASIC or C?

C. BASIC teaches bad habits right from the start.
