hi im new to c++
i want to learn about it but i dont have any software in c++...
 is anyone can help me:):)

.::jhanny::.

hello

In order to program in C++ you do not need any software but there are some recomended features

First I will give you a link to the best C++ guide I have found for beginners

http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/index.htm

This is an E-Book of Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days

each chapter is seperated into a day in which a beginner can work one day at a time easily

This book is extremely good about telling you principles and programming practices in C++

now this book only teaches primitive coding so once you are finished with this book

let me know so you can start programming windowed apps and graphic apps

but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves

considering you are a beginner I would say you should use the Borland compiler and type code in notepad

just google it and something should pop up

If you have problems figuring out how to use it just ask

Once you have become aquanted with the compiler you can start using an IDE

I would suggest Bloodshed's Dev-C++ IDE

It installs with everything you need to code, compile, execute and debug your code

heres the link for it :

http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

download version 5 beta

let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns

 ~ You are unique, just like everyone else

thnx a lot goe...

   anyway during my school days we took up about c++ but we ddn't foccus about c++ is just an brief history...for now i want to learn about c++...GOE thank you....i want to ask a favor from you if you dont mind..i need your help to guide me..

hi i wrote this code:
 #include <iostream.h>

 int main()
 {
   cout << "Hello World!\n";
        return 0;
 }



but i got the error it says that

error: source file not compiled.....

how to run? as what ive notice just click only the debug option right?
is thier anything ive missed during installment...?

hi fixed the problem i know how to run and compile...

.::JHANNY::.

32:2 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward\backward_warning.h #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <iostream> instead of the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated. <<<<-------------what was this mean?


any body can explain?

.::JHANNY::.

how did u fix the problem... b cuz i write "using namespace std;" after the include file line? but how'd u do it.

in my first problem which i have solved already was i ddnt compile first before debugging....now ive encountered another error

hi mastrgramr,
  thank you i fixed my problem by using spacename std;

by the way i dnt know what is the function of that code?

what is the different between this?

#include <iostream.h>


 int main();
 {
 cout <<"Hello World!\n";
     return 0;
 }

where in i got an error with this which is this code i only copied from the book...

not like this code using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
 int main()
 {
    cout << "Hello World!\n";
    cin.get();
        return 0;
        }

anyone can explain im very much appriciated thank you;))

The reason one compiled differently is because different compilers have different standards

now if you look at where you got the error message it actually is not an error message at all

all it is is a warning that states you have a header declared in a non-standard way

your code will still compile and it will still run perfectly fine

however the using namespace std allows for the newer compilers to read

code in basic terms the same as an older compiler

because if you wanted to get incredibly technical if you didn't use the using namespace std

everywhere you typed cout you would have to type std::cout

but not only for cout but everything that the iostream library pulls

so in the end its just helping you out by saving you a little bit of typing

but remember to read the "ERROR MESSAGES" a little first because they aren't always errors

sometimes they are just warnings

if you have anymore questions about this or there is something I didnt cover or you want more info on

just ask
