learning C++

[Lord_Igor]

Code: Select all

char pass2[8]="password";

All char strings must end with a null character: '\0'. The above gives pass2 eight spaces for characters and "password" is eight letters so it fits, but there is no space left for a null character. The length of a char string must be at least one more than you need. So

Code: Select all

char pass2[9]="password";

should solve your problem.

whats the easyist coading to learn? And then, will you teach me that one instead?

Thanks, that works now.

I was just wondering, is it possible to add pictures and buttons and stuff like that in C++ (or is it more trouble than it is worth or imposible)?

A guy that I know who does web design told me that I shouldn't be learning C++ but that I should be learning java, which should I learn?

That depends on what you want to make.

c++ is a bit more difficult then java.
Java can be run as applets on webpages which c++ can't.
Java is an interperted language which makes it really slow usually.

Maybe someone else can post more differences?

I'd also describe c++ as a procedural language with object-orientated features where-as java is fully object orientated

I'd say it doesn't really matter what you learn - good programmers in one language can pick up other languages reasonably easily - even old hacks like me who started on Fortran 77, when it was still new - entering programs on punch cards and waiting for time on large time sharing mainframes with collosol 16k memories - *sigh* . I still use Fortran today at work - an excellent language for data analysis.

If given the choice to start again , I'd probably plump for c++ over Java , just because I'd feel it gives a better idea of basic input/output and develops lower level skills, but that's purely personal - You'll probably get more immediate satisfaction from Java programming - a lot easier for the novice to produce relatively complex applications from scratch
