I have been trying to learn c++ but its so Fu@#in hard.I did my first project which was easy program but the next level was a bitch.
I was wondering if there is anyone on this forum that can maybe help me when i am introuble in realtime ....like skype or something.:confused:

I wouldn't mind learning Symbian O/S which is based on C++.
Anyone who can program Symbian?

Many of us also offer support on programming issues in the relevant forum: perhaps post your questions there and I'm sure those of us able to answer will do so :) http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=132

you know bobby i did post stuff there and there is just to little response.

I also study c++. Also finds it difficult.

[TooFastTim]

I've been coding in c/c++ for about 20 years. I don't find the coding part of C++ difficult BUT I do find breaking the problem into classes difficult. Further to that what data members are private, public or protected. Get it worong and you can end up in dwang get it right and you wonder what the problem is. Spend your time modelling the problem carefully.

yikes and i am only on chapter 2,,my gawd why must it be so difficult.

Best to do would be to get a firm grip on C

then move on to C++

after all, C++ is like C, only enhanced beyond all obfuscation :D

if foo != fubar then... :D

I disagree. Learning pure C will only confuse the poor sods. Objects are a difficult concept. I f you get it, you get it. If not, there's always a simpler language.:D

html? :D ;) :p

Not really a language as it is a way of formatting a page ;)

Skeptic learning C wouldn't be a bad idea, it will help him become accustomed to the syntax. After that he can move on to OO style programming, breaking the problem into classes etc. The main difference between C and C++ is object orientation.

As mentioned above, the hardest part is breaking up the problem, solving each of the smaller parts, and then connecting them together again. Superpostion can be a bitch at times :p But it gives rise to a more robust and reusable code. So if he can get something done in C, there would probably be large parts of it that he could still implement in C++.

FINE! You don't say hi, you don't phone, but you always have the time to eat me up from the inside: ARRRGGGHHHH :D ;) :p

Hey HGP ;) Nice seeing you again bro, we should chat sometime. Have a good weekend.

There will be no eating done on dudes!! :p Haha. Yeah we should catch up sometime...

Tread lightly though and always search before you ask.

There are also c++ chat rooms on a few irc servers but YMMV there.

As far as I know there aren't any dedicated local mailing lists for c++.

Edit: Perhaps post your question again in this forum. I (probably others) only tend to read it sporadically and I haven't used c++ in many years but if I can help I will.

what is more simple than c...python

Lol, C++ isn't that hard but like someone mentioned you just get it at some stage. I first learned c then moved to c++, thats how it used to be at varsity but they have changed it in recent years so now the first years learn c# or java first, then they move on to c++, but they are only introduced to OO concepts later.

c++ has been around for many years there are so many good sources out there even free e-books http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html was one i used, very good.

I am a tutor at varsity and some people think that it will just come naturally, and it often does, but the main thing is practice practice! use examples and change them, but just code!

You wanting to learn the language or the programming? The first one is easy, the second you either grasp or you don't.

A good source for specific issues is the Safari Books (http://safari.samspublishing.com/) from Sams.
