Igore didn't mean there is no difference between C and C++. He was just saying a 'project' isn't C or C++. In other words, C and C++ have different (though similar) compiler rules, syntax, etc. By default, the compiler will compile a '.c' file using the C rules, and a '.cpp' file with the C++ rules. And you can mix .c and .cpp files in the same project.
As for what the difference is? That's a big question. Objects exist in C++, and they don't in C. That's the tip of the iceberg.

If the only difference between C and C++ is the file extension, then what is the difference between C and C++? I'm thinking of adding a language other than the Visual Basic that I kind of know and would like to know the difference. I've been thinking about Java, but am not sure yet.

There is no such thing as a C++ project. A project in Visual Studio can happily contain both C and C++ files. By default, file extension determines whether the file is compiled with C or C++ compiler (.c would indicate C), and this could also be overridden in project settings on a per-file basis. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5662 (20101130) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
