of course it is possible to write c in c++ files. c++ is c with other features bolted on essentially. But there are some differences (the compilers don't really distinguish though, depending). I just wanted to make the point that c still has it's place.

Hi, I read some C code before (it is actually possible to write C code within CPP files). Still, I prefer CPP better... I guess once Jiang gets the required IDE and books/resources, then we could start teaching him by going over what is C/CPP and where it is used - and other things as time goes by. Since we use different IDE's, perhaps some could go over concepts while those who use Eclipse can go over how to use the IDE to produce programs based on concepts. For Jiang: Just let us know if you have any more questions... Hopefully at least one of us could answer your queries...

I personally prefer c++ for a lot of what I do, but that doens't rule out C. It really depends on what he wants to do.

As Tyler said, try using Eclipse (there should be some documentation on Google). Personally, I would rather let you learn CPP instead of C mostly because of compatibility, syntax and availibility. If you are a student, I'd say it's better to learn computer science with this language, since it provides some foundation from where you can learn more about different styles of programming, how to write complex programs using simple way of writing things and so forth. Here's an important question: are you being self-taught (learning by yourself) or do you plan to learn programming in college or other schools? If you are self-taught, then we (the programmers) could walk you step-by-step and get you started (when you are ready, that is). If you are learning this from school, then we could help you reenforce what you've learn by giving you some resources for you to look at, as well as answer questions for you (not schoolwork, that is). Once you get an IDE or a book, then we could start by going over what C or CPP really is (like a historical survey and how this language is used) before moving onto the C version of "Hello World."

Personally, I recommend C++ or slightly modern ones, as C++ builds on top of C (slightly different syntax and way of writing things, but shares useful concepts). As for IDE (Integrated Development Environment), for beginners, I recommend writing your code in a text editor such as Notepad and using a command line compiler such as Borland compiler. If you want a free IDE, the best one the programmers on this list use are Eclipse and Visual Studio Express (could you tell us under which OS you'll write your programs in?). Just for sake of intro: could you tell us more about yourself like how you heard about this list, how did you get into programming (a student, a programmer learning a new language, etc.) and what do you wish to learn? That way, those who have your experience can understand your situation and help you better. Cheers, Joseph On 4/2/11, giang<hoanggiang1994@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi every one, I'm Giang, a new member.
