[C/C++/C#] C/C++ Help

11ven · 05-27-2012, 08:35 PM

Ok i have a fair knowledge of C programming(most of the terms used) & not to brag but i am good at logical aspect of programming. But the sad part i have not spooned every bit of C inside my belly. & i want to move to C++ now.
Whats the difference? Which is better?Tell me something about C#? & any good learning material(so far the ones i found are.... )?

One thing I'll tell you about C# is that it is heavily influenced on making the life of the programmer easier. There are many short cuts, both code wise and if you are using VS to code.

Unlike C or C++, C# eliminates simple mistakes that could create a crash if you were coding in C++. (The garbage collector for example, which automatically removes any instance that does not have a reference, instead of leaving it in the memory until the programmer manually calls for it to be removed)

Best way to learn is just dive in and try to code something. Use this website to get an idea of how the syntax and algorithms work in C# and C++ and compare them to C. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/

Everyone will tell you its important to learn C++, but C# is like a programmers wet dream. Its so slick and clean.

Good luck!

C# is okay, but be aware, it's still windows dominated. When you're writing cross-platform applications, C/C++ are always easier than to go with Mono in C#.

The biggest difference from C to C++/C# is probably that C is not object oriented! You might have to learn the ideas of object oriented programming if you don't know them yet.

So should i stay to C++ or go to C#?

There is not the same answer for everyone. Read all the comments here and evaluate what's the best for you. As they told C# is easier and forgives you some mistakes, while C++ is less windows dependand

Just go with one of them if you are too unsure. In the end it's important, that you practise programming, and realize that it's not always about the language. The concepts used are mostly the same.
