Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 5:21 pm Post subject: C++ Starting |
|
|
Hey, I'm interested in programming in C++ and I'm wondering if this is download is actually c++ or something else. Here's the link, http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/. I'm guessing it's real because it's from the microsoft website. Also, my other question is, is C++ a good language? Or should I try Java, C, C#? Thanks, +karma for helpful posts.
EDIT: Sorry to sound like a moron in this post but is the download only supposed to be 2.8mb? Because Delphi was around 400MB.

C++ is a great language, as it is a superset of the original C language, it added more features, functionality, etc. to the language. I would highly suggest it for any purpose.
Java, C#, and other languages like these are mostly used in more of a mainstream environment for companies that look for fast application development. I would not suggest either of them for game hacking though.
Visual Studio 2008 is a great IDE and compiler for the language, and as stated above, the link you provided is for the express edition. While it is not fully featured, it is very useful. It is unlimited, never runs out, you never have to pay for it. There are draw backs to it being free, but for a learning environment it is great.
As for a link to the enterprise version, that would be warez, which is strictly against the rules.

EDIT: One more question, sorry :/. How do you run a program? I was just reading .murders. tut and was following the first party correctly but he never included anywhere how to see the result . I tried pressing F5 or debugging but I think that's not the right thing.. |
Donnt use .murder's tut
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Go through the tutorial.
F5 should display the results. Also pressing the button that look like a"play" button. Also Debug > Start Debugging.

| Code: | #include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
} |
Your #include "stdafx.h" is missing the closing "

if you're new to programming and don't know too much about data types/variables and how programs work, i'd suggest starting with vb.net. it's basically english and once you've grown experienced with how programming works, i'd then move onto C++. but that's just my opinion, i know that it helped me out a lot.

God no, this is exactly what you DO NOT want to do.
All .NET is going to do is hide how programs work, not teach it.

Go away and stop trying to teach people bad things .
| Code: | #include <iostream>
int main( void )
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
} |

| Why does everyone use std::*? Why don't they just use printf()?
