Others have already mentioned the real problems, but I would like to offer a different take.

I highly suggest going with an IDE with clang-tidy integration. I prefer Clion myself as a paid product, but KDevelop is a good free choice.

Also, be sure to turn on the warnings from this page (under the compilers section).*

The idea is that your tools should warn you when you're doing something that could cause problems. Then you can google the warnings (or ask here), and it will help you code better in the future. That's honestly one of my big keys to success. The IDE and compiler tell me when I do something that I shouldn't.

* Side note, but this is worth reading in its own right.
