Good luck with C++. You gotta have a bunch of freetime to memorize it all.

C++, on the otherhand, requires you actually to memorize. VB is sort of like writing a book. C++ is actually "LEARNING another language". Requires you to memorize, and will take a while.
Example:
To say "hello world" in Visual Basic its this:
| Code: |
MsgBox("Hello World") |
In C++ it is this:
| Code: | #include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
std::cout << "Hello World!";
std::cout << "Press any key to exit... ";
getch();
return 0;
}
|
Of course I know shit about C++, and wont learn till the summer when I get more time...  |
This is wrong.
cout is not a MessageBox. A MessageBox is a MessageBox.
MessageBox(NULL, "Hi I'm a message.", "hi!", MB_OK);
Also, the idea of learning a programming language isn't learning every single function... that is why MSDN exists.

Than XenoPhobe is wrong because I got it from him.
I don't know anything about C++ yet. In the summer i'll start learning it.

If you want to learn a language like that, learn C# instead, it's on the .NET framework all the same, yet also has an absolutely enormous amount of support.
I'm still recommending C though, so you don't end up shitting your pants later when you hit some concepts.

You were talking about how nothing makes sense in C++ like cout
C output
cin stands for
C input
Most of the apis are explanatory just from the name.

C++ isn't hard. Most of you just started with "easy" languages like VB. For example, you type in Msgbox("Hello") but you don't know what actually happens. In C++, you use MessageBox(NULL, LPCSTR("Hello"), LPCSTR("Hello World"), MB_ICONINFORMATION). It's the same thing really, just VB(Microsoft) makes everything easier by giving you less to deal with.
This is why making a GUI in C++ is so hard. VB and Delphi and other languages have what are called prologues and epilogues. The WinProc are already coded for creating windows. In C++, you need to write your own WinProc procedure and the handlers for all of the messages.
