thats c, not c++.
dont perpetuate bad code.

<sounds like neil butterworth/victor bazarov from comp.lang.c++>

 

for the hello world program in c++:

//begin

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

 

Fair enough CornerWorker... So what was the confusion about main()??

Oh, wait a sec, the comment was already on that line... I thought you'd put it there.

Rock on... Gotta tell you though, make sure you know C damn well if you want to get into system programming.

C++ is neat though... Serves a very different purpose.

 

That won't compile Charlie.
You forgot to:
#include <stdio.h>

 

 

Bloody Hell Fire!!!
Jack, you tyre-biter!

 

they don't call me the human compiler at work for nothing :cool420: (for Java though)
I'm doing mostly Java programming at work, and I like the language. It almost forces you to stick to good coding convention. Not ideal for performance critical applications though, where you'd wanna do C/Assembly. My former room mate used to work at a device driver house (before he got asked to take an indefinite vacation - so I guess he technically still works for them). A co-worker of his also hung out with us a lot. My room mate was a Windows device driver programmer (though his company does mainly UNIX drivers). His co-worker was a pretty good UNIX device driver programmer. I'm not sure if you've heard of UDI (Unified Driver Interface(?) - it's a cross platform source code standard for Unix drivers), but he wrote the UDI driver for USB keyboards.

 

yeah, c is good for low level routines, etc. c++ is best for larger (100,000+ line style) projects requiring OOP design. and to brag to your friends. pretty fast too....java is nice for like, applets. heh.

what confusion with main?

 

Yup, i made my first program... its soo uber pimp... looks like this....
