In this tutorial, we explain how to install a version of GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) in Windows. GCC contains a powerful and easy-to-use C++ compiler. GCC is free and open source. We also explain how to set it up in VS Code (Visual Studio Code) and how to compile C++ programs in VS Code. Besides installing a version of the GCC compiler, it is also possible to install and use some other compilers in VS Code, such as for example Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar Microsoft Compilers. You should actually try to compile your code using several different (at least two) compilers.
In particular, in this tutorial, we explain how to install a version (port) of GCC for Windows called MinGW. MinGW stands for Minimalist GNU for Windows. It includes a port of GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Consequently, it is a free and open-source C++ build system.
