Question

ok, im just 14 and a noob. but ive been wondering what the hek is c++ and how du u learn it?? is there books that teach it to u?

Answer 1

It is a programming language. There are many many many books. It is also easy to learn on the internet. Try this one i found radomly by doing a Yahoo! search for "learn c++ free"

Answer 2

C++ is a computer programming language. It is the objected-oriented successor to the "C" programming language.



C and C++ are arguably the most common programming languages. They are commonly used in firmware development for devices like microwaves and cell phones, but also for PC applications like most applications from Microsoft and Apple.



I learned C from the book:

The C Programming Language, by Kernighan & Ritchie

then C++ from:

Thinking in C++, by Eckel



Learning the C syntax is a worthwhile first step before learning the object oriented elements of C++. Nearly any C code is also C++ code even though it may not be "good" C++ code.

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with being a n00b.. atleast for a little while ;-)

As everyone mentioned C++ is an object oriented programming language. There are a plethora of websites that contain information/tutorials on the language... if you are doing a google search you will get more results if you use "cpp" instead of C++..

Answer 4

It is a fundamental programming language that can allow you to do basically anything with your computer ( ofcourse every language has its ups and downs) But overall C++ is the one to learn because many other languages are based upon it.



Also.. if you just want to learn the ideas behind how programming owkrs... maybe you should try BASIC first.

Answer 5

C++ is the object oriented version of the C language.

You might want to start with learning about Object Oriented Programming first to truly understand C++

If you want an FAQ, the best one out there is http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/



If you search on yahoo, you will also find tons of tutorials of varying difficulty and free C++ compilers

Answer 6

C++ is an object oriented programming language.. It is an extension of the structured programming language C. So any C program is a C++ program. But not vice versa. U can actually study about it..loads of books available.. Lots i tell u.

just try

http://www.cppreference.com/index.html

it isn't a tutorial..but it tells u wat cpp is all about. u can try bjarne stroustroup's book too..he being the developer of C++ has covered everyhting exhaustively too..

Answer 7

c++ is a programming language, is kinda old but is good for beginners, there are alot of versions, and personally i like visual c,and yeah, there are alot of books about it as well as some tutorials you can download off the internet...

Answer 8

c++ is a form of computer programming code. it can be hard to learn and there are a lot of rules, but once you get the hang of it. its actually not too bad. go to you local community college they should have books there. i have a book but not with me that is very helpful

Answer 9

What they said....



... search for "C++ tutorial" on Yahoo or Google and find about a bazillion pages showing you how to get started. I would recommend Bloodshed's Dev-C++ for your IDE. It's very good and FREE.
