Re: vb code?

Try learning about java

I have, plenty.
glad you made the asumption that I hadn't, though; you seem to be doing that with the messages of mine you reply to. 

Thanks,

My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.

Uhm, wow, Tyler .... You do understand that for certain cases, Java is
actually faster than C++, right?

Try learning about java

Take care,
Sina

Java?
I'd rather not wait 10 minutes for a for loop to complete 5 itterations,
thanks though.
C++ is very "character building," and has many uses beyond API calls. Just
because you can do something higher level doesn't mean it needs to be done. 
I like the control and the ability to control everything with c/c++, as
other programmers do. It also teaches you the internals of your operating
system and compilers, without just floating around there like every other
person who uses a high level language and just programs without knowing how 
things work.

Concerning C or C++ as a language, I think it is important to learn its
data types, since they tend to underly the APIs of almost any operating
system, and sometimes there are not existing wrappers for what you want to do, so you need to know how to make API calls to system libraries. If you 
are developing operating system components or programming languages,
themselves, there is not a substitute for C.  If you are developing
business oriented or web applications, however, stay away from them, in
lieu of much more productive and reliable languages!  Only highly skilled
C/C++ developers successfully develop sophisticated programs without
memory leaks or other problems that lead to system instability.  Do not
use these languages simply to "build character." Programming has advanced 
beyond the need to dig into risky low-level details that have been safely
addressed by advances in languages that are more tuned to the human mind
than elemental machine!  In general, the lowest level language that most
programmers need to use these days is Java, in my opinion, which handles
memory management automatically, has a vast set of libraries, and is
strongly cross platform.
