Hi
if you want to work with linux its beter to work woth C
There is NO excuse for writing ANYTHING in C these days.......none!
I disagree. While it is good to form an opinion and have a favorite
language, that does not mean other languages are useless.
C is, and has been useless ever since C++ became standardized. and
I'll say it again, There is NO point in writing anything in C
these days. C++ is simply a better language, period
C is, in fact, a very good language. It is often used for writing
device drivers, for example. Sure, one could also use C++, but C is
a perfectly acceptable choice.
Victor. Have you opinion but don't degrade the choices of others.
It isn't necessary.
I wasn't degrading anyone, and it's NOT an opinion, it's fact
No, Victor, your statement is NOT fact. Saying "There is NO excuse
for writing ANYTHING in C these days.......none!" is simply not true.
Sure, C++ may be a superior language to C but, if one does not know
how to program C++ yet they do know how to write code in C, then C is
a perfectly acceptable choice.
This forum is supposed to help those of us who do not currently know
C++ and would like to learn. Statements/attitudes like yours make
that process more difficult.
P.S. The program you wrote for me fails. I asked for a fix, but
received no reply.
then read your damned mail..... David gave the fix, and I replied to him
btw, sending a stupid .jpg file isn't the normal way to indicate a
failure.... there was NO text in the message, and I usually trash
EMails with no text and attached "pictures"
Victor,
Since you seem to be fixated on details, this is a message board, not
a mail system. Sure, I read David's comments on your code and your
reply to him. But the message was not directed to me and it was not
obvious that the <exception> -> <stdexcept> issue was supposed to be
the "fix" to your code I could not get to work. That was a separate
exchange between you and David. And, BTW, I made that change. It now
compiles without error, but it does not run. Selecting "Run" (or
double-clicking the program ICON) does NOTHING. It does not even
momentarily pop up a DOS command box. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Also, I put the JPG there because "a picture is worth a thousand
words" and it showed exactly what the errors were. I'm sorry if
that's not standard practice here. Calling it "stupid" has no positive benefit.
And there WAS text in that message. Quite a bit of text which you
ignored. I cut it from the previous message and I'll paste it here.
Maybe you can comment on it now?
Keep in mind, please, that I have extensive experience with C but
none in C++. I'm on this board to, hopefully, learn the workings of
C++. This board (and others) are meant to help, not degrade, others.
It seems many of your posts DO ridicule people who seem "inferior" to
you. And, when it comes to C++ coding I'm sure we are. If you want to
be a hotshot, fine. But why not use your knowledge to help others
rather than tell them how stupid they are? That's why we are here. To
learn from those who know.
I want to learn. I don't think I post stupid questions. I never ask
for someone to write my code.
Here are my comments from the prior post (sans the JPG). Comment
nicely, if you will, please. I honestly would like to learn. I think
you have the knowledge to help.
"Errr, Thanks, I think. It's no wonder I stick with C and not C++. I
thought C++ was supposed to make things easier! But there are WAY too
many things hidden here. [It's frustrating for a beginner.] Some examples:
for_each(argv+1, argv+argc, score_word);
How do I know what score_word will be given as arguments? What if
score_word took more than a single argument? How would the for_each
function know? What would it pass? (Is for_each an internal, standard class?)
catch (not_a_letter& e)
{
/// output whatever error message decided at the
point the error was found
cout << e.what() << '\n';
}
Again. WHAT!? not_a_letter is defined as a structure. The "catch"
uses it with an argument e? and then cout uses the argument e. How am
I supposed to know that the argument e has a method what()? This is
VERY confusing!
Until I have the time to learn all the hidden classes, etc. I'll stick to C.
Thanks for the example, though.
DevC++ shows the folllowing errors. It even complains about struct
not_a_letter not having a member what, as I questioned...

not C++ or vc
as replied to bevore, vc is NOT a language
but java is verey powerfull it's beter to study java it's a very
goof language especially J2EE
