New guy here. I had a few questions (not 'how to' or 'homework questions', so don't worry).
If the answer to any of these questions is some soft of lack of knowledge on my part I apologize. Please just direct me to where I could read more on said topic.
1 - I've used Code::Blocks for awhile and really enjoy it, however the other day I downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012. I took my code from Code::Blocks and pasted it directly into a file in Visual Studio's, my program almost ran as normal however it did not have the same functionality as it did in Code::Blocks. I can't for the life of my figure out why. To me it would seem that C++ code is always the same.
Now, I assumed that perhaps I did not have VS set up correctly, so I made a simple "Hello World" program and compiled and ran just fine. Copy Pasting my Code::Blocks code into it however did not.
Is it just my lack of knowledge with Visual Studio? or does something change between the two programs?
2 - I noticed that the size of the corresponding folders is very different. I wrote a simple program in CB and complied and ran it (using all default settings it comes with upon installation) and it was easily under a 1mb. However when I did the same with Visual Studios it was over 20mbs. Why is that?
(Again, it may be my lack of knowledge with Visual Studios and if so let me know).
I apologize if these questions are vague, but I have explained them the best that I could. I already of course tried to Google and Search the forums for these answers, however its hard trying to find the answer when you aren't completely sure if you asking the right question.
So yeah... you can flame me now.
