Does Replit use a ANSI standard C++ compiler or do I need to download VS Code for my class?
I’m not sure, but I think that since Replit supports ANSI color codes, it probably has an ANSI standard C++ compiler. However, I think it actually uses a Nix compiler.
If you really want to use an ANSI compiler, I suggest you to download VSCode (if you want to)?
Really, it doesn’t matter which C++ compiler you use, they’re pretty much all the same.

My professor says we need an ANSI compiler for things to run perfectly. Apparently if there are discrepancies grading could be affected.

Ok, I’m not really sure about Replit, if you really want to be sure, download VSCode.
run in Shell on a C++ repl:
sed -i '/override CXXFLAGS/s/$/ -std=c++98/
s/-Wno-everything/-Wmost/' Makefile
Ie used ANSI escape codes and theye worked for me before, but i didn delve too much into it so Iḿ not sure how much you can do with it. For example hereś a lambda function I used that uses ansi
clear = lambda: print("\033c", end="", flush=True)
The course probably aims to focus on algorithmic thinking (not practical programming) by disallowing the features added after ANSI C++. It probably makes marking easier and more reliable as well.
Using an ANSI C++ compiler ensures that you don’t rely on new features.

I used ansi for clearing the console kind of in c++ with replit and it worked, so I don’t think you’ll need VScode unless you really want to use it.
I am 90% sure ansi codes and ansi C++ are unrelated. Afaik ansi c++ is just a version of c++, and ansi codes add style to the console.
ansi c++ is a term? lol
