What Can I Do With C++?

[gamer 5]

I have been reading online tutorials but im bearly in the basics, and its not intersting!

I just wanted To Know What can I do with it(C++)?

I just want to know to see if it is worth taking time to learn it!

Anything. Even though it's disputed, this includes defeating Chuck Norris.

Am I making myself sound stupid when I say "aren't there some things you can't do with it that you can accomplish my other means?"?

[R0b0t1]

Well, you can do pretty much anything computer wise...

Think of something you would like to accomplish that you could possibly use a computer for. You can most likely do it in C.

[Rune Hacker]

Anything to do with computers. All video games are made in C/C++, almost all independent programs are also. Name something to do with a computer...It can be done with C/C++ probably.

How can I actually make a window,
better question is whats the code?
Also what is a good site to learn C++?

[R0b0t1]

Uhmmm... A good site to learn from would be to look at the sources from random projects at SourceForge.

Anyway... Go DL Microsoft VC++ 2008.

okay thanks for your help!

VC++ 6.0 FTW!

i went around and serch for VC++ 2008 Redistributable Package not much idea what that means, and would that be enough to run work C++?

[R0b0t1]

Google FTW!!!!!!!!

google?google what?...

i've not started working with c++ yet, nor i know the basics of C++....

if i didn't ask fully:

what is requierd to run c++/work with (some what)



and also. nice avatar from newgrounds

[codx1]

[mastaraymond]

You can make programs in C++

[R0b0t1]

Orly? I wouldn't have known...


And I didn't get my avvy from newgrounds.

You can do a lot with C/C++. I reccomend C++, because that seems to be the most like JAVA, and RuneScape is in Java .

At any rate, C++ is a moderately hard language to learn, because the commands are somewhat cryptic (std::cout is the same as writeln('')), and everything is Case Sensative (WriteLn(''), WRITELN(''), writELN(''), etc work as the same thing in PASCAL, whereas std::cout and Std::Cout would mean two entirely different things in C++).

Tips for learning C++:
-Start slow, it gets easier as you get used to cryptic-ness.
-Develop a uniform way for naming variables (I always name my variables ThisIsAVariable, some choose thisIsAVariable, or this_is_a_variable. Just find a standard way to capitalize variables.)
-Look at multiple tutorials/guides. Some don't explain well in a certain area that others explain great in.
-C++ is VERY annoying at times. Compilers are sometimes VERY bad with recognizing errors.
-Good luck

If you get Visual C++ for free from somewhere then it's good, meanwhile you can use this



I'm nub in C, though I'm trying to learn

[R0b0t1]

I don't get how std::cout is cryptic...

Something like this; that would be confusing. (IT works like normal cout though)

std::cout.operator<<("Hello World");

It isn't, once you learn what it means. However, it is slightly harder to figure out what it means than writeln('');.

This is somewhat of a noob question, but what can you do with C++ that you cannot do with another programing language, as in SCAR?

Because SCAR is just a Pascal complier, i should say, "but what can you do with C++ that you cannot do with another programing language, as in Pascal."

Why should you learn a language that is comlex when there are other much easer options?

You can alocate your own memory, you can make a OS, you can set us up the bomb before all your base are belong to us.

Too late. All your base are belong to us already. Or is we on same side?

[R0b0t1]

No. I set us up in all your base. Your base will A Splode.

[gamer 5]

Is there a manual or something I can get commands from?

[R0b0t1]

Zomg! You must read the Microsoft documentation before you program us up the application!
