Intro to C++ & the Environment
Variables,Constants, & Math Statements
The String Data Type; Equations

Looping

can i earn money with this knowledge i have ?

Answer 1

Hi

Sure u learned C in C++ environment , and all those things you have learned are common for both C and C++ , matter of fact you not even entered the OOPS concepts , Buddy still these things are yet to learn !



Objects and Classes

Data abstraction and encapsulation

Inheritance

Polymorphism ( Overloading )

Message Passing

Dynamic Binding

And lots of basic stuffs yet to learn!



You can earn only if you have good programming skills !



Thanks and Regards !

You have a command prompt, but you will need also a text editor, and a c compiler. If you're on windows, NotePad will do fine for writing in the code. Just make sure you chdir in the command prompt to the directory that you save the file in. If you have a Mac or Linux, just run 'emacs' and follow the instructions to get to the tutorial. There are a variety of free C compilers, and most linux distros already include one. For Mac OS X you will have to download and install the 'Developer tools' package; just google it. For windows, if you search for "free windows c compiler" you should find a bunch of suitable results. I don't know if MS makes a free C compiler, but plenty of people have written their own. Once your compiler is installed and you have you've copied the text from your book into a file, you usually have to run cc [filename].c on the command prompt. On windows, your c compiler may use a different name to use besides cc, but that will be in the documentation. If all works out well, then ./a.out (on Mac/Linux) or run [filename].exe (on Windows) will execute your program. Also, don't listen to these idiots who say C++ is better because it's object oriented. C++ is a mess, it's basically just C that's been gussied up to look like it's object oriented, and has features of dubious value such as operator overloading.

Answer 3

This is a very basic course that you have done. The main magic of C++ is Classes and Objects concept which I think you still need to learn if u wanna become a cool C++ Programmer.

No wonder, C++ is supposed to be a OOP(Object Oriented Programming) Language

Answer 4

Looks more like C... where are the objects and classes... did they teach u that ????



The answer to your question is : Not yet...



you are yet to get into the real essence of C++... well, there are lot many advanced concepts that you must go through if money making is the goal... try to get into a advanced C++ course that deals with inheritance, polymorphism, operator overloading, templates, exception handling, namespaces, standard template library usage, etc... (there are so many concepts dear...) also try to get some handson in OOAD based design tools like Rational Rose...(training institute will provide this one too) then u can go for the big bucks... :-)

Answer 5

If you want to create video games you'll need to learn math, more math and even more math. :-) Seriously.



If you want to program busness applications you'll want to learn about databases ... and whatever else the client wants.



If you want to program for the internet, you'll need to learn markup languages (HTML, CSS, etc.) and a scripting language (PHP, Python, Javascript, etc.)



So keep hitting those books. Study Smart!

Answer 6

You study any programming language there is no end !!

You always keep on finding new things in them

The best way of mastering any language is keep on practicing.

Instead you can study graphics and animation which is very good source of income.

Answer 7

the core of C++ is OOP, u need to understand concepts like abstraction, reusability, ancapsulation and also practice them.

The things u have learn't so far are the basics of c++ and infact u need to know them to built on advance concepts, and then u will be able to increase your chances of earning money.

Answer 8

i m goin to do my BCA this year n i dont think thats enough....

is the course you have done a small one??? do they provide any placements?? do they even boast? if they dont then they are probably sure that this isnt enough to be a pro!

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

the reason i m saying this is that i had C++ as a subject in my school, and C still fascinates me and all the topics you ve mentioned were covered in my school so.......but your course might be of some good details so cant say....

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

the best is to ask your course teachers. ask them straight if you know enough to work in C++.....they know the best!
