0 neowin_hipster Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange I think you meant ANSI c++ but i still think even then you're confused. head to www.cplusplus.com and check out the tutorials.

0 MrA Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Um, what the hell is ASCII C++. Don't you mean ANSI C++? ASCII stands for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange". It's a standard code for representing letters, numbers and certains symbols by means of a number. ANSI is a standards institiute. Anywho, my answer would be ANSI C++ because I don't think I'll be doing any windows programming and so it would be useless for me to go that route. Also, ANSI is cross platform. VC++ isn't.

0 todd Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I think he means doing things through say notepad first, or trying to do windows and stuff with VC++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jonovate Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Regardless of what you learn, you still need to learn the core C++ syntax which both use (control loops, atomic variable types, etc etc). Console programs are the same on both from what I can tell... Just up to u if u want to learn with Intellisense/"Code Completion" (DevC++) and a good debugger, or if u want to rely on compiler errors and working out stuff on your own. edit: if you're going to learn C++ in notepad, use TurboPad instead, it has C++ syntax highlighting for example (supports a whole bunch of other languages... i've made it my default txt/html editor... not that anyone cares) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 zhwcn Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Of course ANSI C++。 If you learn VC++ without C++ groundwork, i am sure you will get into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Veiva Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 ANSI C++. It is portable, which Visual C++ s Windows only. You should use C++BuilderX (go to borland.com and register, its free and you can download lots of thier software for free too) or DevC++ (think it is bloodshed.net or someithing....). To learn, I recomend C++ Primer Plus. Amazon and Barnes and Nobles have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brandon Live Veteran Posted September 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2004 Tough question... I think you should learn "basic" C++ (and maybe a little C) before getting into higher-level stuff like the Windows APIs. But, it doesn't really matter whether you learn with a simple text-editor (I'd recommend Emacs) or Visual C++. Personally, I learned on an older Visual C++ version several years back. Some might say that learning on a system with IntelliSense might spoil you (since you won't have that if you write code anywhere else)... which is why I'd hesitate to give you any firm answer at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
