Hi at all, I'm Jacki.
My real name's Jacopo and I'm 16. I'm already good in PHP/Mysql and want to know more of C/C++. I know already the OOP but in C++ is a little more complex. I hope that I can learn a lot here.
(I'm not very good in english, but I'll try to make me understand)

bye-bye!

PS: plaese, correct me if I do some mistake... Thanks!

Hey Jacki, welcome to CodeCall! How are you learning C++?

I'm reading some tutorial on internet, I think that I'm going to study C and then C++ but I think that C's quite simple (few things to know)... what do you reccomend to learn first? Do you know some interesting tutorial?

Bye! :thumbup1:

Stop C, go into C++.

Welcome here m8 :). Enjoy :)

Can you explain to me why I have to leave C and start C++? Thanks! Bye! :w00t:

Edit: How can I edit my signature? I found nothing in the CP.

Learning C will give you a lot of stuff to unlearn when you start learning C++. C has a lot of techniques that are standard "good practice" there, but are considered "bad practice" in C++.

C is a good language, it's just not a very effective stepping stone into C++.

C++ is a evolution of C, is that true? Is C++ more used than C? At the moment programming's my hobby, but in a professional future C will be useful?

C++ started out life as "C with classes", adding object-oriented programming concepts to C. However, it has also added templates. The combination of classes and templates allows you to radically alter the way you approach even the most basic activities. For example:

int i;
float f;
char* s[]="hiya";
printf("int: $d\n",i);
printf("float: $f\n",f);
printf("string: $s\n",s);

becomes:

int i;
float f;
string s="hiya";
cout<<i<<"\n";
cout<<f<<"\n";
cout<<s<<"\n";

The time you spend learning things like format specifiers for printf() and scanf() can be spent learning C++, as they are almost completely unnecessary.

Both C and C++ are used, but they are used in different areas. Most video games, for example, are in C++. Operating systems tend to be in C.
