ok they are resizable array! That's good, I mean instead of just creating a big array and wasting memory we can use vectors.

Can we drop the .h from all the C++ headers? But it works for me even though I use them.

vectors are much like arrays


this is in no ways the end all be all deffination, but a somewhat decent look at em

I'm not even sure you can use stl stuff in turbo c. (old one that it).

When you finish your edjumacation and if you want to learn proper c++, get dev-cpp from bloodshed.

I have dev-c++ but I didn't use it because it didn't support graphics

could always work with Visual Studio

i happen to find this environment quite fun and easy to work in.

Dev is better for pure c++, VS tends to convolute what is standard c++. Such as when killer typo mistook


As standard c++.

heh it's actually because of a setting in VS which can be turned off to disable

dont try and set the standard with my mistake that would be a mistake in itself

i've asked a couple professionals (30+ years experience in software/hardware..etc development, one of which is currently head of product research development) and when i asked about the compiler they use, they replied that they use microsofts products.

when i asked about other compilers, like borland, turbo, bloodshed they just laughed them off.

Nah, VS is too bloated and c++.net is horrible.

For pure c++. i.e no windows GUI crap, you don't need Visual Studio.

And anyway, if you are writing code it is best to test it with different compilers and operating systems to ensure portability.
