| has gloss | eng: HiC is a C++ integrated development environment designed for use in introductory computer science (CS1) courses. HiC itself supports a subset of C++. Pointers, operator overloading, bitwise operations, and other features of C++, which are not usually used in introductory computer science courses, are not included in the subset of C++ that is HiC. The result is that error messages can be more specific, providing more help to novice programmers. It should be noted that HiC does not create stand-alone executable programs. In this regard HiC is not technically a compiler. Instead HiC is an interpreter which interprets the subset of C++ accepted by HiC. |
