1) "Advanced" and "easy (to use)"...
...appear. :)
-Ye borland C++ is like Turbo C++ along with many additional programs that help advanced C and C++ programmers. But it doesn't mean I have to be advanced idd, think the author is here to learn me write simple "DOS-based" C programs (whatever that is) rathers then windows programs.
-lol, thats what I needed to hear, my first attempt to learn this book I was searching all the net to learn ANSI C rules xD ofcourse the author is there to do the worrying for me
-Visual C++ is not a compiler? I've never looked at it that way, but it sounds more logical. So Visual C++ is more of a editor then a compiler actually, hehe. BTW the book stated I have to buy a C compiler and talks about bundle of C++/C. Later it states "The most popular C compilers today are Turbo C++ and Borland C++." But reality is you can't really compile with those either? It also mentions Visual C++ btw.
- So I need an compiler without the IDE! this explains it, I can just use notepad to write the stuff and then use compilers to compile it! aha! This is great stuff man
-"This is Microsoft's confused attempt at trying to make a programmer's tool user-friendly, yeah." hahaha I was almost rolling on the floor. lol I forgot we're on da intranetz, anyways :P
-Oh ye I totally understand you about the instict thing, but my first attempt I kind of messed up my whole computer, I'm taking it slow now with this guid from Greg Perry, and taking advice from real life programmers like you as well, its a honor btw, hehe. I actually read the helpmenu first time and I kept reading even tho I didn't understand a thing ^^ was rly fun. I can't wait to look back one day say like wtf this is all so easy. I'll sure master the details aswell I promise.
- So I'll save source code on notepad with "Helloworld.C" if I'm correct, ty thats rly easy, heh
-cool stuff on extensions saving, hehe never have guessed that.
