title: Checking the C++ version on my laptop
body: <p>I am currently in a CS class where we use C++, and I run Linux on my laptop. So the problem is that I think I don't have the most up to date version of C++. I've read online for several commands to get the version and this is my result. Also my Linux version is 16.04, and I am compiling in my terminal </p>
  
  <pre><code>tom@TBT-XPS-13-9360:~/Documents/Subjects/CS/OOP$ g++ --version
  g++ (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609

  <p>I don' know what part of this is my actual version of C++. If my version is not the most up to date, can someone please give me DETAILED instructions on how to do it. Still getting my Linux legs.</p>
