Just wanted to know how many of you are currently using C language for programming. If you can tell what sort of programs you do, it would be useful.

I still use C for programming, infact I only know two languages (C and C++). If you have any question then ask, I/we will try to find the solution.

C is definitely a good language to start programming i suppose. Once you get strong with c , you could start playing with C++. Bothe have an ocean of possibilities to work with.

At the moment , i am using C++ . It is great to use it as it is t oriented. You can do lots of programs in C like Games, an editor software package and so on. So there are many area you cna deal with.

I'm currently using C++ and I like it because it's very flexible compared to other languages. I'm mainly using it for games but it is great for all sorts of stuff.

i <3 c++

i use the md dos version though, i dont have any other compiler other than turbo c++ 3.0 DOS... but i still manage. I have made a header file that allows me to make 3d images and stuff with the lineto and moveto methods. I like to make games. Ive made all kinds of games like a mini-rpg type of game (not really an rpg), pong, and i also made this mini one-octive keyboard for my computer science class my sophmore year. But i havent been messing with c++ lately, ive been working with java ^.^ i <3 java

I do not know about C++, I had a brief introduction to it though while programming Symbian OS with C++. I have been learning java ever since I came into the programming world. Based on what I have experienced with C++, as compared to Java, it does require a header file where all the local methods are declared for further use.

But other than that, what are the significant differences? I do know that the syntax is a little different, for example they are using printf() for the use of printing messages as compared to Java's System.out.println()

First of let make it clear we had
first "C" then "C++" and then "JAVA"

in between c an c++, we have c with OOPS ( actually im working on this ).

C++ is best for faster performance. where java is easy to write big programs.

just for your information, photoshop, flash all these are in C++. So from my side C++ is the BEST

I know some C, but not all of it. I took a class freshman year on it, but it wasn't a very long class. I program old DOS programs for windows lol. Not a lot of graphics experience, but id like to get more

i used to like c when i was in my early years in college, since i use it to do my programs that were required in class. right now i'm using c for creating a compiler (one of my major subjects), but in most of my subjects i use java. i've made a transfer like two or three years ago because java helps to simplify most of the tasks that i usually have a hard time doing in c.

Yeah, C was pretty popular this days. C++ was popular back ahead before Java...

The problem is that C was developed open-source and not for commercialization purposes. Java was a bit flexible and defeats some leaks that C and C++ have... Moreover, Java had a commercial version of their Language. So development and standardization(?) of Java was not that hard.

And yeah, I use C. I use C for basic programs that require mid-level programming with high-level programming... It was fun learning C..
Data structures has to be implemented by the programmer themselves in C.There are pointers that can manipulate memory. While some languages dont have pointers and data structures was defined by the authors and developers of the language themselves so it defeated the purpose of having a more imaginative and creative mind(IMHO).

But in large system scales that requires you to focus on data construct than the logical construct, OOPL's are a must. ^_~
