what simple programs would a beginner should code in order to get some understanding the c++ along with leaning as well

--==== notepad ====--

hehehe

for real there is no easy way into coding
you have to know the code and you need a assembler thats all
a use MS vistual studio

[gettincrazyovercoding]

agreed with BosZ...
no Real shortcut for programming...
you can start from Turbo C++ or with VC++ from Microsoft...
U need to understand bare minimum just to write simple code
---------------------------------------------
Datatypes.
Procedural programming/Object Oriented programming
Functions
-------------------------------------
next comes
Arrays
Pointers
structures

and list doesn't end here... If you wnat free Ebook then download here

should have been more clear, i was referring to like a chekcers game or simulator or a full blown program that does to much in one sitting

you want to learn C/C++ by yourself?! I took a introductory class on it in hs and thought it was hella hard. I'm sure I'm not the only one...let's say there was a bit of copying going on the programming assignments :lol

[Saint_Michael]

the one computer class i took for programming was on a mac and *BLEEP* i had to do a lot of cough cough copy cough cough

start learning c++ by using visual c++ 6.0 and read a c++ tutorial online, or buy a book. I recommend C++ How to program it will show you how to creat simple programs to more compliex applications.

look into other code, get a C manual and start with a Hello World program of course

It depends on if you want to learn C or C++ but I would look into using linux and gcc if you want C, since you will get aquainted with a lot of C code in Linux. You can also use gcc to compile C++

[alperuzi]

I would disagree with that.

Know C or C++ -> you know Java (but never use it )

Know java -> C++ and especially C is difficult for you because it is more low level than java

So it all depends upon which one you start with, and starting with C is much more advantageous.

C is the standard for programming today, maybe someday it'll be java, but hopefully not! Anyways, you can't really compare C with Java since Java works in a completely different way.

You may want to look at this article I wrote in my forum:

http://www.limzb.uni...topic.php?t=140

For a starter, you may want to try this program:

Quote

#include <iostream.h>

int main ()
{


cout << "This is the 1st program I created after a long C++ Programming break"<<endl;

return 0;
}

Compile and run it. You may want to look at the free compilers I listed in my article.

Good luck in your journey in C++ Programming!
