RE: c++ confusion

Hi,
The return (0) line indicates that you have finished executing the code and
is forfitting the memory so that other programs can use it. Personally, I
put that line at the end of my programs.As for command-line tools, I
recommend Borland.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: c++ confusion

Hi all,
I may have to learn a lot of c++ or, more specifically, visual c++ sometime 
soon. I am confused on some things from my limited c++ experience in the 
past:

1. Some compilers want the "return(0) and a few other lines at the end of 
your main function, while some do not. I have noticed this and similar small

differences. What is this all about, and what decides what specific code 
needs to be included?

2. What is visual c++ to regular c++ and is it very different? Can I use my 
favorite c++ program to compile vc++ or does this language require its own 
compiler?

3. Is there a simple command-line c++ or vc++ compiler I can get so I can 
use EdSharp instead of a dedicated IDE?

Thanks for any help!


Have a great day,
Alex
