okay I re-started programing and I need some help with the int example. ( int long MyAge = 14 ) what is the LONG part and what does it mean...? I''m not just talking about LONG but all of them like int short... could one of you please help --- The EvilOne ---

If you look in your local MSDN library you''d find a list of all of them


Base type Default sign Description
boolean unsigned 8-bit data item
byte - (not applicable) 8-bit data item
char unsigned 8-bit unsigned data item
double - 64-bit floating-point number
float - 32-bit floating-point number
handle_t - Primitive handle type
hyper signed 64-bit signed integer
int signed 32-bit signed integer
long signed 32-bit signed integer
short signed 16-bit signed integer
small signed 8-bit signed integer
void * - 32-bit context handle pointer type
wchar_t unsigned 16-bit unsigned data item


[type-specifier] [ signed | unsigned ] type-modifier [ type ] declarator-list;

type-specifier
Specifies a base_type, struct, union, enum type, or type identifier. An optional storage specification can precede type-specifier.

type-modifier
Specifies the keyword small, short, long, or hyper, which selects the size of the integer data. On 16-bit platforms, the size qualifier must be present.

declarator-list
Specifies one or more standard C declarators, such as identifiers, pointer declarators, and array declarators. (Function declarators and bit-field declarations are not allowed in structures that are transmitted in remote procedure calls. These declarators are allowed in structures that are not transmitted.) Separate multiple declarators with commas.
Examples

Ummm im at school so I don''t have the thing but when I get home ill look at it. I dont understand all that suff anyway

Ummm could anyone else try to help me out with what im tring to do please anyone...... thanks for the help BTW )))))

Umm, I don''t mean to be mean or rude but if the is confising you, you should probably go get a book like "Teach yourself C programming in 21 days" (first C book I read, in more than 21 days). variable declaration is one of the easiest things in a language. If you are getting stuck there then that is a sign that you need more of a background before you should start asking for help.

I started with QBasic, then C, then C++. I believe that progressing the way I did gave me a foundation I wouldn''t have if I had just gone straight to c++.

That''s not true at all. I started out like Lowell did with QBasic, or actual line number BASIC rather, and then learned C. After I was using C for over a year, I started learning C++. Right now, I''m using C++''s object oriented style to my advantage with my current game engine. Things like stl, polymorphism, factories, and other C++ concepts that are specific to the language. You can learn these things, but you just have to find a use for them first.
