About Notepad++
A free text code editor that supports various languages and uses Win32 API and STL.
Notepad++ is free and very easy to use. I love how easy the developers have made it to develop.
The interface is not convincing, the code that is written often is not very visible and very confusing at first sight.

Duplicate to Notepad++ and do it without any problem. 4. It provides additional features such as checksum generation, ascii to hex and vice versa conversions which are very handy for developers.
