title: Run C++ in command prompt - Windows
body: <p>I know that everyone uses an IDE nowadays, but I just find it simpler to write my code in notepad++, compile it using a command prompt command, and run it from there too. At least that works for Java and Python. I've tried to get my head around how to do that with C++, and haven't been able to find anything good. Is there any compiler (like Java's JDK) that I can stick into my path and use the C++ equivalent of <code>javac</code> and <code>java</code> to run and compile my code from CMD?</p>
  
  <p>Note: please don't post answers and comments about how IDEs are better - I know they are. I'm just used to doing it the old way :D</p>
