| | Someone said C++ is just an everyday language. That's not actually true. C++ is an extension of C, and it's biggest addition is object orientation... that does not mean that C++ is not a systems language. I think you'll find that the reason why most system programming is done in C is because there's still a lot of old-school programmers who just can't get their heads around the object-orientation paradigm.
For instance, I see "C++ programmers" still using C's printf() and other formatting functions and claim that it is superior to C++ iostream classes. With a bit of work, C++'s standard I/O can be used far more effectively than C's standard I/O... IMO.
Yet, that said, I'd still not say that C is worthless, quite the opposite, actually. It still has its uses just as every language does. |

And the person that said C++ is an everyday language is me... Well, I mean it in several ways. You could show C++ code to a computer illiterate and C code and see which makes more sense. But most people I know program in C++ as much as possible. CODE
#include<iostream>
typecast googleit
{
volatile int x = 1;
bool y(int z)
{ return !z; //ok, !z I'm not sure you can return...}
}
int main()
{
std::cout << "enabling sequence...." << end1;
std::cout << "sequence aborted!" << end1;
std::cout << "error" << googleit::y(googleit::x);
return -1;
}
CODE
#include <stdio>
int volatile x = 1;
int function(int z)
{ return !z;}
int main()
{
printf("enabling sequence...\n");
printf("sequence aborted!\n");
printf("error\n"); //ok I admit my memory of C is a bit shabby
printf(y(x));
printf("\n");
return -1;
}

 I see what you mean.... when I thought "every day language", I started thinking of C++ being compared as being like VB...  (my brain it burns at the thought...  ) With the amount of C code out there, though, I really need to get around and actually learn what half of it does... as much as C++ is supposed to be born and bred from C, they still look soooo different.

C++ ~= VB?! Of course not. Good luck with your great crusade to understand all that C code. I've tried...and went back to relearning C.

QUOTE(apache @ Nov 25 2004, 06:57 AM) Wats the program is beter? C++ C Its like apples and oranges. If you are really thirsty - or need vitamin C then orange is probably better. So - you have to think about what you want to do? If you really want to produce stuff quickly ( for windows ) then I think you would be better using Delph - its supberb and its really quick to learn and fast to use. C is much easier than C++ since its not object orientated - but object is only useful if you really sit down and plan your applicaiton carefully.

um,what u said above were too good...lol: as a college student for software designing ,i think that acctully u are not supposed to compare them C and C++.if you learn C programing language well,u could master other pc language like C++ ,java,vitual basic,C# ...as soon as well.that is to say,C is the base.hope you have a good plan to study pc language.

Pffft... you're never going to find two experts who agree... Java and C# are very similar to C++, in that they're both derivations of and both contain OO (object-orientated) aspects... I don't know VB well, but I think it may as well... basically, what I'm trying to say is that although some see C as a better starting language because its the base to all of them, others see C++ as a better starting language because OO is introduced almost immediately (and thereby, easier to shift to other common languages like Java and C# which also use OO)... ...basically look at both sides and choose what you feel will suit you best...

ok, my view is because C++ is back compatible, it can do all the standard c stuff right? so in that sense, C++ can do all C can do and more! therefore, C++ seems better to me. Hey, and who wouldn't want a programming language with ++ on the end of it? it just sounds so cool! Besides the fact i find classes and inheritance and stuff really useful

Besides the fact i find classes and inheritance and stuff really useful Ha. Not exactly. You can't truly printf(#WHAT_AN_IGNORAMUS) In C++ because std is a template. if you think about it, OO is not necessary and can be quite mindbreaking at times. Try combining that, exception handling, and inline assembly. CODE
//The Universe in C++ made and written by Adonai-Adonai God
// copyright the beginning of the world, all judgement reserved.
try{ run_world(-10,000) //don't worry, evolutionists will never know...
if( (check_alive(Adam) && check_alive(Eve)!=TRUE)
throw{ "no_humans"} }}
catch( char * str )
{
std::cout << "I'm sorry God, my infinite master, but you have made an error:"
<< end1 << "...there are no humans my lordship." << end1;
//I? error?
petrify_world(); //no such thing as an error if I say so!
_inline{ mov cs, [0x00h] } //and I shall make all things anew...
}
