Basic C++ Intro

-----------------------------------

Basically saying the same thing i said in the VB forum. :? 
I was hoping one of you experienced C++ programmers could make a basic tutorial for it. Does C++ have a program that you write the code it? Like turing has winoot. Thanx in advance, your support is greatly appreciated.

you're referring to a compiler  :?  Since you can write C++ code in a notepad for all I care.

You can search the web for some free compilers, they are out there (I mean like legaly free  :wink: ). There's also visual C++ that you can buy or Visual Studio (which also includes VB)

Oh... and since you posted in both VB or C++... my piece of advice... pick just one and learn programming 1 language at a time.

Hi KeNNy,
If you are interested in C/C++ programming then you are in luck because there are many free program compilers out there. One of my favourits is Bloodshed, which is similar to VC++, you can find it at www.bloodshed.net.  There is also Djgpp which apparently Quake 1 was made on, I wouldn't recommend this one since its a bit difficult to use. Borland also has a free compiler but it doesn't include a GUI, so you have to type all your code in notepad and then compile them in DOS.

Hope this helps,

 zodiac

hey zodiac,

thx for the link :D personally I have Visual C++, but if you're just starting with C++, this resource has lots of free compilers available.

-----------------------------------

my guess is that its compiler's fault. VC++ compiles it so that it has "program has ended, press any key to terminate"

if you're using a different compiler that doesnt put that in, the program will finish and close itself.

It's because that the DOS prompt window closes itself after the program is terminated. You could add these lines to the end of your program:

cout
