Turbo C++ is a C++ compiler and integrated development environment (IDE) originally developed by Borland in 1990. It was designed as a home and hobbyist counterpart for Borland C++ and provided a complete development environment, including a code editor, compiler, linker, and debugger, all within a single application. Turbo C++ was known for its fast compilation times, small executable file sizes, and efficient use of system resources, making it a popular choice for developing applications on low-end hardware. Although newer IDEs have largely replaced Turbo C++, it remains popular among some developers, particularly those who are nostalgic for its simple and straightforward interface. Turbo C++ is not the same as C++, which is a programming language.
