it throws you at pointers as soon as you hit scanf

Does it matter??😅😅 I mean in the long run of course... But who cares for the minor projects😂

Pointers are the easy way out !!! Strings actually suck in C!!!

there is no such thing as a string in C

there is no such thing as a string in C

it irritates me lol

please don't spam ! and ? 😅

String ops in C are a pain in the ass.

start coding the right way...

it's just an array wiht a 0-termination

Does it matter??😅😅 I mean in the long run of course... But who cares for the minor projects😂

Which helps you learn how it really works. Because string in almost any language is a bunch of chars with a null at the end.

Anyway, if you're doing C++ you definitely have to know what a C-string is

but C/C++ is very very VERY sexy! C++ is so Easier for me i just Cant undrestand Python! jez

Try php with their === shit conditions

you should learn well from ground on. there is a huge environmental impact on using good software practices

What ide should I work on.. eclipse code blocks or normal CUI?

Do you have LINUXß

Yes I do

so you subject a beginner to using raw memory pointers?

then, don't use an IDE

Yes. What makes pointers hard?

then, don't use an IDE

use a text editor and the compiler

or you can make your own IDE

they are VERY hard to grasp for a beginner

I know I don't need it but one click compile privilege has already made me lazy😂

Not really. It was harder for me to grasp recursion

vs code has a key combination for executing command line stuff

infact, any string literal is a std::string

they are VERY hard to grasp for a beginner

I don't believe you

Not really. It was harder for me to grasp recursion

U don't need to declare specific header files for that?

You don't believe that I didn't have much problems with pointers, or that I struggled much more with recursion? :D

Language: cpp_gcc Source: #include <typeinfo> #include <iostream> int main () { std::cout << typeid("string literal").name() << '\n'; std::cout << typeid(std::string("string")).name() << '\n'; return 0; } Result: A15_c NSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE

Normal usage is easy. Passign it to a function was an isue and double triple ... ppointers.

@QNeko EXPLAIN

@QNeko EXPLAIN

the C++ is easier

nothing to explain even if you consider multiple overloads of a function which takes a single argument one with const char* and the other with std::string if the function is called with argument "blablabla" it will consider the const char* overload

Maybe .. Do really like STL in C++. I just use C++ for vectors/list/other implementations

no

the stl is SO FUCKING handy

Like if I need to use a cls operator which u can't just normally do in c++.. I'll have to declare an alternative to windows.h for Linux.. to use system(clear);

no, you don't use system(dosmthing) in order to compile

Have you ever done anything with a gui from a just a text editor?

Language: cpp_gcc Source: #include <iostream> void overloaded_function(const char*) { std::cout << "const char* overloaded function\n"; } void overloaded_function(std::string) { std::cout << "std::string overloaded function\n"; } int main() { overloaded_function("kiao"); Errors: source_file.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: source_file.cpp:12:30: error: expected ‘}’ at end of input overloaded_function("kiao"); ^

no

Who wouldn’t like Steve Wozniak as the friend o.O
