your first C++ assignment

[BOne]

C++ compiler

Above is a link to a C++ compiler so that if your interested in learning a bit about C++ ill be posting short codes and tricks and tips here .... this is a very popular and powerfull PC language quite a few languages as well as software is developed with some sort of C syntax below is the first bit of code to try ...

// DBL forward slashes are programers notes here you can put
// anything you want,your name,what the program does
//and the compiler will not read anything behind the slashes
//into your code. you may also program note with
// a */ /* anything in between
//slash astrick is a programmers note as well.
*/TRY TO USE THE CODE BELOW/*

#include< iostream > //use no spaces

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout<<"\nthis is our first C++ program.";
cout<<"\nit works!!!";
cout<<endl; //endl is a carriage return command

return 0;
}


your output after you compile should be this
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

this is our first C++ program.
it works!!!



any questions.....post em up

Grrr. I am a slacker. I took a class in C++ but it went way too slow. Is it better to start in VB or C++?

[Nev]

depends.
VB up until version 6.0 is nice to begin with, although IMO it's not a "proper" programmiang language. but VB.NET is quite different, and way better structured, but still as easy.
C++ is not good for beginners, since it's very....unforgiving.
i'd recommend Java instead, from there it's not too hard to go over to C++

[atholon]

Well I know the basics...if, while, for ect I am not very good with objects and such. I need to get better at arrays and stuff. I don't know how to interact with other programs and such...

I know this post is, a little dated, but, they arent many threads to bring this thread up above. Not sure where you learned your C++ Bone lol, but my code differs a bit from yours. Hit me up on MSN @ dce_evolution@hotmail.com
Need some help with DevC++ Compiler.. but I just went ahead and operated with using number variables in C++ :

// operating with variables

# <iostream.h>

int main {}
{
// declaring variables:
int a, b;
int result;

// process:
a = 5;
b = 2;
a = a + 1;
result = a - b;

// print out the result:
cout << result;

// terminate the program:
return 0;
}

sure add me you your msn as well or you can post any questions you have here....im pretty good with VIM editors as well as pico editors..i learned C++ in college..next semester ill be in advanced applications of C++ along with a few other languages.....my msn is df1_bone_collector@hotmail.com add me if ya wanna ...
that code was actually an assignment in class.. our first..get our feet wet so to speak...lol...

Hey Im wanting to start a career in Computer Programming (making video games), so maybe I can learn a lil before I start college (Im only in 10th grade LOL)
