Request a Tutorial

[Clayton]

Obviously the collection of tutorials here isn't the greatest, so post tutorials that you would like to see here.

Some that come to mind:

• Arrays
  
• OOP (Just the basics, enough to get people going)
  
• namespaces - handy ones to use and what some of their key functions do.
  
• Creating a function outside of the main function
  
• Templates
  

I'm sure there's lots that I'm missing, but feel free to add any that you are missing.

+100 bits to a single quality submission (perhaps more).

I believe at least some of these issues are talked about, at least to some extent.

Though I find this odd.

Creating a function outside of the main function

Except for a non-standard addition to GCC, it is not possible to create functions inside the main function in either C or C++.

I'm pretty sure he means branching the main into multiple function/method calls rather than having straight inline code through the main.

...and yes you can...it's called a macro (the technology of last resort)

bad choice of words i suppose. I meant creating functions other than the main function. My bad.

Wait a second... Justin_ actually deleted all his tutorials? Most interesting...

What do macros have to do with function creation? Either you don't know what you're talking about or I'm definately missing something.

C++ is a huge language, so creating a comprehensive walkthrough sounds like a pretty lofty goal.

Well I'm going to do my best, even if it means linking to tutorials outside of compsci

Justin_ did indeed delete all of his tutorials (well actually he edited them and left colorful comments about mods on the board, Dan deleted them )

Indeed. There is a reason that when I created the C whirlwind, I deliberately chose not to make it the C++ whirwind.
