Please don't use an IDE, and especially not that one. The actual compiler in it is horrible about C++ standards.

The problem with an IDE is you end up worrying more about which button to press and don't spend as much time learning the language.

Instead use G++ via MinGW and MSYS. I'll be posting a tutorial on setting this up shortly.

And please, it's code, not codes.
