Hi and Welcome !

Open Terminal and execute this

sudo apt-cdrom add

Insert Ubuntu CD in CD Drive and execute this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

It will install all packages, compilers necessary to compile your C and C++ code.

[kmitnick]

the c++ compiler is called g++
it may be installed by default or may be not, anyways if not you can get it from

sudo apt-get install g++

btw, c++ in microsoft visual studio is different from here for example here you can't say:

#include <iostream.h>
you have to use
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

or you can't say void main(){
|
|
|
}

but you must give it a return type for ex:
int main(){
|
|
|
return 0;
}

As I mentioned earlier, build-essential meta-package installs all compilers necessary to compile C and C++ code. There is no need to install g++ individually.
