title: C++ versions, what they mean, how to update them
body: <p>Is the c++ version you use tied to the version of compiler you have or IDE?
  If it isn't either of those, how do I use c++ 11 on my IDE? How do i update what C++ version i use in my programs?
  How do I check what version I'm using?</p>
  
  <p>I know that printing the __cplusplus variable can tell me what version I'm using, but this doesn't answer my other questions, neither does it answer my third question, because: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/14131551/10938047">https://stackoverflow.com/a/14131551/10938047</a></p>
