Hi all.Ive started my studies and one of the subjects is C++(OMG I hate coding.)

Is there any one here that is proficient in c++ and a professional coder?
Some help with layout and and indentations would be very much appreciated.(The right and neat way please).

It took me the whole of Saturday to get Code-blocks working.It tries to compile a C++ program in C.And no help anywhere.Even hit google and forums.
Finished the first 5 chapters on the study material on Sunday.Doing okey.I can actually complete the mini assignments and they are functional.

Thanks all.:)
Enjoy the day.
 
Not even a single coding Nazi? Eighter you guys are trolling me or there not is not a single C++ programmer on MyBB. Come on guys help a Newb to learn it right the first time.

Thanks.
 
I've heard that C++ is to C what Brain Damage is to a Brain.

Alan Kay who coined the term "object oriented programming" said that when he coined that term, C++ was not what he had in mind :P

I think you'll find more help on stack overflow.

Code blocks tutorials
 
If coding blocks does not come with a source code formatter then there is most likely a plugin to install. I dont think many people will be up to doing your homework for you.
 
Make sure you have the mingw version. Then everything should be setup for you.

I can code. It does work and I can find faults. I want to do it professionally and neatly. I'm serious about my studies. However coding neatly is not part of the assignment. I want to do it that way.

I have the mingw one.10.05 . But if you don't know what the extension must be in order for C++ to work then you're stuck. I had to specify the extension (.cpp). The study material did not provide the correct way. Easy fix. Its done and I had that problem on my laptop as well.
 
Is this for UNISA?
They were still using devc++ when I did COS1511
 
If you're worried about formatting, try learn some python. You'll be forced to format ;)
Python is a great language for beginners, and a very good language if all you ever want to be is a beginner :P
 
Assuming you're running Windows, download Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop Applications and use it as your c++ IDE. Its free.

VS2013 auto formats your c++ code as you type, so at least the indentations will be consistent.
 
Woa guys. I'm not learning to become a programmer.I think the COS 1511 stops at arrays (I did Turbo pascal back in the day PII's was scary and we never heard of MMX). I don't know why programming is even in my coarse selection.But its there and I have to finish it. Time is getting non existent. Bugger-up with my registration. If I had enrolled a month earlier it would have been easy.

Thanks for the info. It will help as an guide for programming. But right now I need to do it on my own.
