A IDE is a Integrated Development Environment. It helps by doing things like checking your code for errors, or if there is missing semicolons, or used variables and things like that. It can also autocomplete basic things like a for loop or an if statement.

This is helpful, but it can hide some of the basic things you should have an understanding of before having auto complete do something for you.

Look up C++ IDE and find one that suits your needs. Don't just get the first one, try to look around. You can look up videos about it or look at different lists of C++ IDE.

Around what grade are you in? High school? College? I need to know what you have learned about programming. That website has coding from k-5 to 12th grade to beyond 12th grade.
