C++

[operator]

I'm currently trying to learn C++, Following a tutorial I downloaded. Well, I need help. I'm stuck, due to my poor english and lack of IQ I supouse : p

Nah, but could you tell me if you know C++ And then If you do, I would tell you my problems : p

Thx

I know C/C++. If you have specific error messages or a specific block of code, post it here and I'll try to help.

 

[operator]

Well, it's not an error....

I made this simple program/code following a tutorial:

''
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
''
Now, how do I run this program in CMD ? Or is it another way to run it ?

Hehe... I think I found the mistake. It's "#include <iostream.h>", you forgot the "h" (atleast that's how my borland C++ compiler behave). And I don't get why you make main return a value. You could actually make it of type "void" and then you would not have to worry about returning a value from it.

Final program?

#include <iostream.h>
void main()
   { cout<<"Hello World"; }

Cheers!

oh, well I just followd my tutorial Thx, anyway

But I didn't get an answer to my question. How do I run it ? Cuz saving it as .exe does not solve it

iostream should not have a .h on it, at least not in libc under Linux and Microsoft's library in Windows.
This is correct:
#include <iostream>

You need to compile the code first. Compiling your code will generate a .exe file that you can run.

 

[operator]

ok..well, hehe, what does that mean ? Would be great if you could explaine how to do that If it's not too much trubble

To help you further, I need to know:

What development program do you use? (Microsoft Visual Studio? Dev-C++? Eclipse?) Or are you just typing code in a text file and wanting to compile that?

 

[operator]

Windows Notepad

Now, is there any programs that are free ?

 

[Samuraid]

Yes. You can download Dev-C++ as a free (and somewhat simple) development environment. It includes a compiling program (GCC) that works well in windows.

You can also get the express edition of Microsoft Visual C++ for free here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/default.aspx
It's a little bit harder to use, but still powerful.

If you plan to write C++ code on a regular basis, you should learn how to use either of the programs.

Thank you very much

I would recommend XNA game studio, by Microsoft, which is an addon that goes with Visual C# I think. One of the C languages anyway. It's easy to use, has a lot of documentation, and sort of like dreamweaver if you've ever used it, it has a design window (where you can actually drag and drop buttons and things and it writes the code in for you), and a coding window (where you can do all of the rest of yoyur programs functions yourself. I found a very easy tutorial that allowed me to make a simple program so that when you click a button it changes a text field to a certain value.

 

[Shados]

I reccomend Crimson Editor, I use it for most of my lua coding, and you can get it to work with most C++ compilers. Ph, and if you have Ralle on a IM then you can akways ask him about C++.

-*meow*

 

[brad.dude03]

C++ is a very great thing

 

[operator]

It shure is, do you know it ?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

wtf is C++?

 

[brad.dude03]

C++ is a good coding language used for a lot of professional stuff. For example, WC3 was probably coded in a C language of some kind. C++ is used by a lot of game developers because it is an object oriented programming language. Which is a good thing. If you wanna work as a coder for a game company then you usually have to know a C language fluently if you want the job.

 

[operator]

Well, brad; Blizz made theyr own coding language and called it JASS. They made wc3 with it

 

[Jacek]

Well, brad; Blizz made theyr own coding language and called it JASS. They made wc3 with it

Congratulations, you made my day...

Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft, World of Warcraft are written in C++. JASS is scripting language. Jass is to W3 like Lua to WoW and they are written in c++ anyway

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes was going to tell him that lol JASS came out so bad that they thank god adopted lua for WoW XD

 

[HappyTauren]

actualy, C++ was base for JASS but JASS is missing SO many functions. Trackable us is pretty limited
and i dont know if wow uses jass

 

[brad.dude03]

WoW does not use JASS it uses Lua as Jacek stated. Thank god, as Lua is much more functional and advanced then JASS will ever be...

 

[Samuraid]

LUA has a lot of great things, like garbage collection too, and JASS does not.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well yes, frankly Lua owns JASS, which is why Garry put Lua into Gmod and not JASS It's also why Blizzard didn't continue the development of JASS for use in WoW, instead switching over to the much prefered Lua.

 

[HappyTauren]

...why dont we try to implement lua into wc3 map? or completely start wc4 source-code from scratch, and import models, skins, music and so... WC4!

 

[Samuraid]

Based on how quickly Blizzard makes games, I wouldn't be surprised i fit took Blizzard 5 more years before they released a Warcraft 4 game. But when it did come out, it would be amazing as usual.
