Sevari,

Is there a certain program I need in order to write c++

[Trust_Not_123]

Lord Optix. no you can write any program using a simple text editor like notepad. but in order to run or compile the program so you can use it, then you need a compiler. also, you can use the compiler to write your code in its own built in text editor

Lord Optix:

For a compiler I reccomend DGPP for windows and plain 'ol cpp for *NIX =]

A great editor with text highlighting for PHP, C, Cpp, Java, Javascript or SQL, is winsyntax

This may be a little off topic, but I thought the AO community might find this entertaining. I'm currently enrolled in a University programming course to learn C/C++. Out of all the software that they could let us use or require us to use, they chose Visual Studio.NET ($999.99). Hmmm, wonder what they have been talking about at the CIS meatings with Microsoft over the last few weeks. To make it even better, the class I took before this programming coure required that we use Excel and Access for our class projects. ($499.99)

And they wonder why we have to bootleg.

PS: Here are some really good tutorials for learning C/C++

Just thought I needed to rant. Is it just me, or does anyone else reading this thread feel that C++ sucks? Don't get me wrong, this whole object oriented thing sounds like a good idea, and can be fun to screw with sometimes, but is it really worth the bloated code? Maybe it's just me, (which wouldn't be odd; I'm the only 14 year old I know who ONLY writes in C and assembly for major stuff) but I don't really see the problem with sticking with procedural programming.
