Don't worry. I won't ask questions for tests and the like because I'm trying to teach myself
Happy to hear that :)

Though the types of questions I'm supposed to ask are things I don't get correct?

Not sure if I understand you. Basically if you have problem with C++ and can't google the solution, or if you don't understand how something works (or just curious about something C/C++ related), or .. probably there are more possible topics :)

Bumpy
what append if i have a char* function and i return an int pointer?
Bumpy
char *foo(char *string) {
int v [5];
return v;
}
Bumpy
what could append?
Vlad
char *foo(char *string) {
int v [5];
return v;
}
It's not casting to char* that is an issue. It is that you're returning pointer to the local array
Bumpy
i know. this is only example men
Bumpy
if i allocate it dynammicly
Bumpy
what could append?

Although if you'll try to use it as a zero terminated string it shall be UB as well. Unless you guarantee that it will have a '\0' within its bounds
Vlad
And don't use word append it doesn't make sense

Hey I have a question

Should I study C++ straight away or should I start with C to get some groundwork?
Gianla.
nha start with cpp

Why though? The Internet says that C is easier and that it will help me

It's definitely not easier
Gianla.
not that much. I mean, you can go straight with cpp cause nowadays is more useful and used of C
Vlad
Learning C is easier but it doesn't mean it's easier to use
Gianla.
also C is becoming old

Besides I have little to no knowledge about programming. Like I know about arrays and stuff but it's just not that deep of a knowledge I got at the moment
Gianla.
Gianla.
every programming course starts with the very basic

hey folks, anybody from stockholm, sweden? i have a quick about their pay scale
Gianla.
Really? Okay. Thanks for telling me
no prob! i started with python but now im learning straight cpp :)

I tried python too when I was 11. I never really got it at the time

Also you mean it's harder to use?

yeah, if you start with cpp you will have no problem switching at an easier language. Now i started with the easy one and im having trouble using an harder one

I would not suggest studying C before C++ if your aim is to use C++. C++ uses different ideomes and patterns, and you will harder time shifting your mind since C++ don't forse you to change your habits.

I plan to get some groundwork. You know what I mean?
Pavel
If you jump from C to Java for example it can be better, because change of syntax and tools can make you rethink how you're approaching problems, in C++ after C you can just keep writing C code which is not a good thing if you need to write C++ code.
Vlad
Yes it is
It is a lot easier to shoot yourself in the foot in C. And standard library is barebones

Then what do you recommend for me? I don't mean the best choice but what did you do for example? You seem very knowledgeable

I don't have text books or stuff like that. I sometimes try downloading pdfs but it's hard finding something readable you know

Try to get a text book it's worth it
Vlad
Especially at the beginning

What's unclear?

Heey a i have been doing c..and am now with c++ and i really need your help
Vlad
I might not be able to
You sure aren't trying enough. I doubt that you couldn't get like 20 bucks for a book. Or just pirate it

Not that I approve pirating. But it's ridiculously easy

Can you be more specific?
Vlad
One can talk about allocations for hours
Asad
Well, I have a question. What is the difference between memory allocated using new and malloc. When I did new and then used realloc to the same memory, it gave me an error saying that I can only use realloc after malloc. Why? Memory is memory! Ain't that true?

malloc doesn't call a constructor
