Free Online C++ Compiler
Compile and run C++17 code online using GCC g++ with STL support, vector operations, Monaco editor, and fast execution.
Overview of C++17 Compiler
C++ is a high-performance, object-oriented, and system programming language renowned for its speed, low-level memory control, and rich Standard Template Library (STL). Widely used in competitive programming, game engines, financial trading platforms, and operating systems, C++ combines procedural precision with object-oriented abstractions. Our Online C++ Compiler compiles C++17 code using GCC g++ inside an isolated cloud sandbox. Full support for STL containers (vector, map, set, queue, stack), modern smart pointers, lambdas, and OOP classes without installing local IDEs.
How to Use the C++17 Compiler
- Write your C++ source code in the Monaco editor.
- Include required header files like <iostream>, <vector>, or <algorithm>.
- Provide test case inputs in the Stdin terminal prompt if reading via std::cin.
- Click green ▶ Run Code button to compile via g++ and execute.
- Inspect compiler errors, execution timing, and output stream in terminal.
- Share code snippets using the 4-digit PIN sharing feature.
🧪 Tested Code Examples (C++17)
Example 1: std::cout & Basic I/O
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, World from Online C++ Compiler!" << std::endl;
int a = 25, b = 75;
std::cout << "Sum of " << a << " and " << b << " = " << (a + b) << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Hello, World from Online C++ Compiler! Sum of 25 and 75 = 100
Code Explanation: std::cout stream operator (<<) outputs data to terminal stream. std::endl flushes buffer and prints newline.
Example 2: C++ STL Vector & Algorithms
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
int main() {
std::vector<int> nums = {40, 10, 50, 20, 30};
std::sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
std::cout << "Sorted Vector: ";
for (int x : nums) {
std::cout << x << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Sorted Vector: 10 20 30 40 50
Code Explanation: std::vector dynamic array container sorted using std::sort algorithm and range-based for loop.
Example 3: OOP Class & Constructor
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
class Student {
public:
std::string name;
int score;
Student(std::string n, int s) : name(n), score(s) {}
void display() {
std::cout << "Student: " << name << ", Score: " << score << std::endl;
}
};
int main() {
Student s1("Emma", 95);
s1.display();
return 0;
}
Student: Emma, Score: 95
Code Explanation: Demonstrates object-oriented programming with member variable initialization list and method call.
🛠️ Common C++17 Compiler Errors & Fixes
⚠️ was not declared in this scope
Cause: Missing header file or forgotten std:: namespace prefix.
How to Fix: Include required #include header or add using namespace std; / std:: prefix.
⚠️ no matching function for call to
Cause: Passing parameters that do not match function overload signatures.
How to Fix: Check parameter data types and numbers passed to function.
⚠️ fatal error: header: No such file or directory
Cause: Typo in header name or non-existent header directive.
How to Fix: Verify header file spelling (e.g. <vector> instead of <vectors>).
⚠️ segmentation fault
Cause: Invalid vector index access, dangling pointer, or stack overflow.
How to Fix: Use bounds-checked vector at() method or check iterator validity.
