Ok, so far I've learned that I have to declare the variable type, and then
give the variable an assignment, quite similar to javascript and perl in
some ways.
int x;
x=0;
But now when i want to give a variable an assigned character, I can't seem
to get this right:
char letter;
letter = "x";
I git a char conversion error. The book I'm reading is covering strings,
but more along the line of keyboard imput, not when one wants to have a
character assigned to the variable within the program. Also, how ever
this
is properly done, does this apply to arrays as well?
char array(3);
array(0) ="o";
Thanks for any help anyone doesn't mind offering. I know for most of you
this is very elementary.
With All Respect,
Upshaw, LaMar T

Subject: Re: Beginning C and C++
then please check the books I pointed out but be prepared to some more
learning, as simbian developement is pretty much different from
windows or posix developement. The tutorials will teach you the
language but you probably won't be able to use much of the
developement concepts you'll be learning. Jamal packaged one tutorial
about simbian developement, which you will need to read and understand
latter, but first you need to get used and able to understand the
language.

Thanks for this suggestion marlon. It is indeed C++ I want to learn,
because my goal is to work with the symbian SDK's, which from what I've
been
reading up about, uses C++ as one of it's most popular languages. I may
be
mistaken, but as far as I understand, it's the only language that
actually
communicates directly with the operating system without some type of
third
party interpreter, and it uses symbian's *.sis packaging.
