You can use any text editor to write C++ programs, but unless the
editor supports calling a compiler externally (Notepad doesn't), you
are out of luck. You can run a command-line compiler if you want to.
If you are a beginner, you should use an IDE, it will already have a
text editor.
And get rid of Turbo C++. It's very old and can only do MS-DOS programs.
