Hey another book that teaches c++ is (we use it in school) c++ primer plus i think its called.

[sniper0wolf0]

nice tutorials!!! C++ primer plus is a pretty good one but i personally like "C++ how to program" by deitel & deitel

just an observation from a virtually complete beginner, we did a bit of c++ in school, and while we didnt use the 'Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days', i borrowed a copy from a friend later and found there were errors inthe code (note it may have been the teach yourself C++ in 24 hours guide..it was a while ago).
and found there were errors in the code, which as someone trying to learn it as a FIRST programming language really wasn't good @ all.

one quick question

can someone explain with the <iostream.h>
when i learned it we were taught as just <iostream> (without .h)
what's its purpose? (.h)

[ScotchGuy]

I believe .h refers to the header files. So if you have multiple classes you do #include <classname.h> I think it's suppose to have the .h at the end, I wouldn't think it would work without it.

[Gidz]

nope was definately working without
could it perhaps have been due to the simplicity of the programs?
anyone?

[mathelis]

Very helpful..thanks.

Excellent tutorial, my only (minor) criticism is that when you are using the standard libraries you should write std::cout, std::cin etc. rather than just leaving the std:: part off or using "using namespace std". It's good practice, but hardly anyone seems to use it for some reason.

Apart from that pedantic point, well done.

BTW, your link to jethrojones.hyperlinx.cz just sends me to the hyperlinx.cz homepage.
