How to synchronize Notepad++ with the C++ MinGW compiler

Synchronizing MinGW with Notepad++ allows you to compile and debug C++ code directly from Notepad++. Notepad++ Download

Installing MinGW

Download MinGW from the official website: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/.
Run the installer and follow the installation instructions.
During installation, select the option to install mingw32-gcc-g++ to get the C++ compiler.
After the installation is complete, make sure the path to MinGW is added to the PATH environment variable. This will allow you to run the compiler from the command line.

Setting up Notepad++ to work with MinGW

Open Notepad++ and go to the Run menu.
Select Run... and in the dialog box that opens, enter the following command to compile and run your C++ file:

g++ "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -o "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART)" && "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART)"

Click Save... to save this command for future use.
Give the command a name, such as Compile and Run, and assign a keyboard shortcut for quick access, such as F5.
Now you can compile and run C++ code from Notepad++ using the assigned keyboard shortcut.

Verifying the installation

Create a new file in Notepad++ and write a simple C++ code:

#include 
int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Save the file with a .cpp extension.
Press the keyboard shortcut you assigned for the Compile and Run command.
A console window should appear with the message Hello, World!. This will confirm that the synchronization was successful.

Synchronizing Notepad++ with MinGW provides a convenient way to write, compile, and debug C++ code in one environment.
