Which language do you use? which is the best in your opinion and why? and whats the difference

i dont know why you would still use c when c++ is available, so im gonna say c++ only becuase i havent tried c# yet, pronounced c sharp, not c pound or c hash as ive heard some people say it.

C

There's nothing wrong with C++. I just like to work low-level and wanted to get away from object-oriented programming for when I make the jump to ASM.

Im working with C++ now, i just started like a week ago. Its fun... complicated and adventurous (i guess thats the right word to use). C++ being more powerful... i rather learn it . I dunno about C# yet, ive only seen few things said about it. Im sure ill find sumthing about it and when i do i will post it

C++ being more powerful than what? C? Try again. The lower level you go the more powerful the language. If you can program in machine language - that is the most powerful you can go. ASM is the next step. With each step the language becomes easier to use and restricts you a little bit more. After ASM came Fortran and Basic - very powerful languages. Eventually C came out - and the beauty of this language is you can make platform independant code. After C came C++ and VB (renown for english-like syntax) and other object-oriented languages. The beauty of THAT is the self-contained object code which made modularization and program production a lot easier. Then after that came stuff like Perl and then Java which produces platform independant PROGRAMS.

So I really question what you mean by C++ being the more powerful... More powerful than VB? There ya go, you got a winner.

sorry, i just got told . Thanks for clearing that up.

i thought C++ was like C and more... having more capabilities than C.

Well, the reason I said that there's nothing wrong with C++ is cause you can include C code within your C++ code. This makes it have all the power of C. C++ makes things faster and easier than being forced to do so much work all the time in C.

So it really is the better way to go - Unless...

Any object-oriented programming spoils you so that you will find it harder to learn structured programming like C. This is not a problem if you never plan on learning C or never have to read C code. Also, you can do low-level stuff in C you cannot do with straight C++ coding, but if you never require such power (and you rarely do) then again, it's not a problem.

As I said, the only reason I'm learning C - and no C++ - is cause C is merely the diving board for when I switch to heavy ASM coding.

ahhh, i c now. thanks for the explaning i learned sumthing new today

yeah, also C# has nothing to do wit C or C++.
I believe it is the m$oft standard language for writing .NET or something along those lines :x

L8r

dash: think of C# as a new language but still as C++v7.0

C# = Elite i've been reading a book on it
Make sure you have a 500mhz or + comp tho cuz it checks for sys requirments

If you can do C# DO IT!

its uber elite I swear to god

it cant be c++ v. 7.0 it was made by microsoft :x
they arent cool enough :x

hehehe they made 6.0 tho :-x

maybe thats why its so confusing...

I don't mean to be rude, but I really hate when people go out and shout:
It's actually a bit anoying. First off all, what makes a language ELITE?? The abillity of creating complex structures? The abillity of using the same code on ALL OS's without having to change annything before compilation? The abillity to multithread processes at anny time and call them by using ONE command? Then.. C# is used to do what exactly? As far as I know, not all languages are created to perform annything. My father is a programmer and has been programming since 1970. As far as I know, he has been into several languages/computers as:

-Z80
-COBOL
-RPG400
-386 Systems
-FORTRAN
-BASIC
-ASSEMBLE
-QB
-VB
-C
-C++

When I say that we have LOADS of books on languages in our livingroom I mean it!
Now, myself I like C++.
Not only is it a reliable language, the code is simple to read (depending on each programmer of course) and it's also easy to learn. Once you understand (by understanding I mean learning to the very point where the code becomes naturall to you) C++, you can really create wonders. Right now, I'm trying to learn Visual C++.

That's all, and It's NOT a flame. I'm just trying to make a point that NO language is ELITE they are just good at different things. (Eccept VB and QB and Basic, those suck bonehard).
