Ummm... Usually a compiler would come with one of what? I don't know if you know what you are talking about....

Anyways, there is the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET compiler, but that might be too much/too expensive for you. You could also try looking at Borland's website, they make a good compiler.
As for free ones there are some around. I'm sure the other will chime in and let you know about them: I just stick with my copy of MSVC++ 6.0 for C++

C++ is a language. No compiler is "included". You can learn a language without compiling it once. That's like somebody asking for a pencil, and you reply "It won't come with a notebook."

Actually you can get the compiler for free, not just the IDE. Look on microsoft's website for net toolkit.

What platform are you using?

If you are using GNU/Linux, you probably already have GCC; just type "gcc" from a command line to use it. Many distributions also include additional developer tools such as KDevelop, which is part of the K Desktop Environment (a.k.a. "KDE").

http://kdevelop.kde.org/

If you are using Mac OS X, you can install GCC from your developer tools CD. Once you do that, you can use it as under GNU/Linux or you can use an IDE such as Xcode.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/

If you are using Windows, you have a few options, but the easiest is probably Dev-C++, which bundles a compiler (MinGW) with an IDE.

If you just want MinGW without an IDE, you can get it from http://www.mingw.org/.

I hope you find some of this information more useful than what can be found in most of the other posts around here.
