Guys, can you tell me the difference between Standard C++ and Visual C++. Since Visual word comes, i think it makes all the applications written in it GUI. Is it correct.

Visual C++ is a Microsoft version of C++ compiler used to develop Windows applications. C++ is in general a programming language and you need a compiler like Dev C++, Turbo C++, Visual C++ to convert C++ scripts to machine executable programs.

'Visual' is a brand used my Microsoft for its 'Visual' range of products and has nothing to do with GUI or effects. Hope this helps.

If you are starting out on C++ you can choose any of these compliers as it suits you. They have slightly different features but all ought to work the same way.
