Some C++ compilers do not require IO imports to include cin/cout. The same is true with some C compilers and printf etc.

Wow Pow,
You have made many errors in your header file.

1. Too many braces in your if conditions.
2. C++ is case sensitive.
3. If an if condition is followed by a semi-colon, then the if...

I like the Dev-C++ IDE. But I do find it difficult to integrate Microsoft specific libs, like directx.

what version of borland are you trying to install?

hmm blunt.

Your right I like C and I don't like C++. I presumed it wouldn't compile in C++ too. But your right it does.

However, it also compiles with the struct keyword in C++ and fopen is...

i usually use typedef and pointers with structs.

for file access use fopen(const char *, const char *)

Your missing the close bracket on your main method. This would be a little more obvious if your code was better formatted (did it lose some formatting on posting?).

Cheers.

this would never work in c++. in .net it is possible that pointer is to a string class that has an equals method like txtULCol->Text.equals(""). thats how i'd do it in c# anyhow.

in normal c++ i'd...

Sure, they are designed with a different paradigm in mind... but it doesn't necesarily make them completely different.

Alot of C++ source code thats around looks exactly like C... and most of the...

I'd say C/C++ are different in culture and paradigm.... But I'd not say they are completely different.. for one if you programme in C you typically use a compiler or IDE that also fully supports...
