I cannot provide a personal opinion on the effectiveness of Turbo C++ for learning C++. However, Turbo C++ is a widely used compiler and has been around for many years, so it has a strong community and resources available for learning. Additionally, it has a user-friendly interface and is suitable for beginners. However, it is always important to keep in mind that the success of learning any programming language depends on your dedication and effort in practicing and understanding the concepts. I would recommend exploring different resources and finding what works best for your learning style. Good luck on your journey to learning C++!
