I started C++!

[Rattrapmax6]

^_^ I've been trying C++,. here and there,. both to go do some now,. or learn some... :wink: .. whis I had the time like back when I learned QB,. :roll: .. at least knowing QB helps in learning C++, or it seems that way to me..

Hey everyone I started proggin' with C++ and I don't like it!

$&@*ING SEMICOLONS.

Anyways, other than the semicolons, I'm getting along with it a little bit... I am in like an "intro to C++" class, and I'm zipping through it and trying to make my programs more complicated and better than the next guys. It's boring though, and I *Still* like Qbasic better... cause I can do the same things we're doing now in C++ WAY easier in QBasic...

Yup. Anyone else had any experience with C++ and whatnot?

obviously its going to be a lot easier to do anything in QB than in C++.. thats not the point of C++... the point is so that you have more options of how to do things... QB makes it simple, but yet yuou dont have as many options. for example, look at the whitespace/semicolon option in the compiler/ide if c++ vs qb... if you forget a semicolon in c++, your prog wont work. but because of trhem, you can have an entire 30kb prog on one entire line. can qb do that? nope... because qb uses the cr/lf/null to end a statement vs the ; see?

wait. you... no you don't really tell me that's the difference between qbasic and c++ do you? i mean no... you can't be serious about that can you?

btw, show me where it's easier to do:

+ a linked list
+ an n-tree
+ generic programming

Are they teaching strings using the std::string class, or using char* strings?

[NovaProgramming]

well he did teach us somewhat about the CHAR statement or whatever the heck, but he says that it's pointless because you can only have one character in it at a time, and it's useless until we get into arrays.

AS for right now, all we really know is

CIN
COUT
FLOAT
INT
SHORT
DOUBLE
ENDL
GETLINE (I still don't get this one)

other than that, we haven't done anything. All the programs are retarted: "Enter name. Enter age. Your name is <name> and you are <age> years old!" Whoopie.

cin and cout are bad, dont use them. dont remember why though...

also, dont use cap. letters for commands.

Yeah, it's because they seriously bloat the program. 1 MB (with cout) vs 50 KB (with printf).

Print "I think you're wrong":if seph = wrong then print "Yes, you're wrong. "

[seph]

yeah? try adding full if/elseif/then statements and for/next loops...

fb, compile it, then drag a 256 color bmp on it

What?! damn!!!

Code:

cout << "cout suxxors!!!" << endl;
