app inventor is by google its where you can do more advanced programming language where also you can put some apps on a real android phone.

Yes, I have recently looked into this. I have started to make some simple apps, just to get used to it. Do you do it?

Cool.
Have you made anything yet? I still am working on the Cat App thing.

Didn’t they take the “block” idea from Scratch?

I made scratch with it, but don't have an andriod to test it out

Scratch is not the origin of "block" idea.
There are many ancestors.
App Inventor uses "OpenBlocks", a open source software developed by MIT.

no there are a lot of programming languages that use the blocks.

i am going to get a android as long as i keep up programming. My mom and dad have a android that i got too test my apps.

The blocks editor uses the Open Blocks Java library for creating visual blocks programming languages. Open Blocks is distributed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Scheller Teacher Education Program and derives from thesis research by Ricarose Roque. We thank Eric Klopfer and Daniel Wendel of the Scheller Program for making Open Blocks available and for their help in working with it. Open Blocks visual programming is closely related to the Scratch programming language, a project of the MIT Media Laboratory's Lifelong Kindergarten Group.
Maybe one day we'll be able to make Scratch apps become Android apps!

know i am learning C++ and that does not use blocks you have to type the code.

We know. It's really cool that you're learning C++, but you're not the only one. After all, it's the most popular language for professional coding

As for AppInventor, I much prefer using C++ with an SDK to develop android apps/widgets. C++ can actually do stuff. AppInventor is pretty much like Scratch, except with harder layouts and boring structures.

I'm starting to like this smiley.
C++ is a language. There are many IDEs and compilers, take your pick:
MS Visual Studio,
Dev-C++,
Codeblocks (IDE only),
and many more!

Here's a good text editor to make c, c++ among others (over 50 including php, ruby, vb.net, C#, java, and CSS).
gedit for windows and Linux.
Now if you want to compile you need to download the compiler.
MinGW has C, C++ among other compilers for windows. C compiler is gcc which is also avaliable for linux.
