NEED HELP PROGRAMING C++, C+, C?

Question

sorry for the caps I wanted my question to stand out. OK so im not amazing with computers I dont know the difference between C++,C,C+ I just know theyre languages for programming at least i think so. well i can use a pc i tought myself how to make batch files that do many stuff and open automatically learn how to use cmd and change the registry and stuff like that my pc is fast i take care of it but i want to learn programming and dont know where to start bc everything seems soo hard any web that teaches me? I want to teach it to myself like the rest I know about pc so plz help me ppl who know about this stuff plz be detailed as i said i have no clue of what im doing thanks for being awesome whoever gives me the best answer

Answer 1

C is the original system programming language, built on a previous language called "B" (serious), and used for various system programming tasks such as building the UNIX operating system.



C++ is C with object oriented extensions, a "super-set" of C to a large extent, a completely different language in some other aspects.



C+ does not exist, to my knowledge.



If you want to learn programming, either C or C++ are good starting points and still have a large market share, or also consider Java. Probably the best *learning* language is Pascal, its only problem being that outside of education, it has almost no market share.

Answer 2

Creating Windows batch files is hardly considered "programming" and learning C / C++ is quite a step up from that. You need to get your feet wet first, and learn a few programming concepts. For that I recommend you take a look at the Python programming language. The commands you give to the computer are interpreted on-the-fly, so you can learn the language by using it.



Here is a comprehensive tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/



When you are ready for C, I personally recommend you pick up a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Believe it or not, Dennis helped develop the C programming language, back in the day. Overall, the book gives you a great general-purpose introduction to the language, once you have your programming basics down, of course.

Answer 3

Not anymore, at one time C++ was just an extension of C. Since then, C has changed, and so has C++. However that being said it's not unusual for the same program to compile both C and C++. The method is the same, but there are just some differences int he libraries that you need the compiler to link to.

Answer 4

c+ doesn't exist. D is supposed to be the next "replacement" for C++ and C, although I doubt that with such a huge code base of C/C++ and almost no GNU D compilers, that nobody is going to be using it anytime soon.



c has a massive code base. c++ not so much, but it's growing with better and better standards.
