Type of programming language should not be confused with what the langauge is capable of doing.

Pure object oriented langauges are langauges of the type Java, C# etc. wherein you have to have a class -- it is a must. As a matter of fact even C++ isn't a object oriented language as such, it would be more appropriate to call it a Multi paradigm supported langauge since you can write imperative as well as object oriented code.

In the same way it would be inappropriate to call Javascript and ASP technology as Object oriented langauges -- they are object Based languages which utilise objects.

LISP, ML etc. are functional languages though LISP shines out to be a multi pardigm supporting language with support for OO features.

BTW object orientedness is all about classes and not objects -- that would be object based you are talking about...

Thank you.

Do you seriously

Hawkes is the name I have been recently hearing a lot from you, Davey...

Thanks ^_^ for the compliment and yeah you are most welcome. Feel free to discuss anything offtopic and funny here...

It really is fun -- you will definately find some of the most shady characters there...

It really is strange since you are able to play AVI files on your computer. ( are you ? )

If not then I can't think of putting the blame on anyone other than the missing codecs...

One more controversial rant in the C++ commnunity:

He who fails to design for performance, performs a design failure.

Many people misunderstand the quote by Knuth

Premature optimization is the root of all evil

as there is not need for optimization. They fail to see that optimzations in the form of simple logical things for eg. using char* instead of strings whenever applicable which may prevent the software from taking a major performance hit but might cause the supporters of Abstractomania to grasp....

Welcome S.O.S to the Python crowd. We are all quite nice in Python land, just here to learn more!

Thanks for squeezing me in...:mrgreen:

Small Miss Steaks are accepted, gives the rest of us the opportunity to show off how smart we are.

Aha..thought something was fishy the way you said "No cigars on that one ~s.o.s~"..:twisted:

Well the reason I asked was that I can't seem to find the lib file on my computer so I thought that it might be the problem. But yes you are right, without the library file the code might not have got compiled and I guess he did mention that his code compiled...

I didn't know that his executable is not working -- if that is the case then it surely is something related to the DLL's since the executable seems to be working in my case and I have neither the header not the library file.

Kharri, the only problem I can think of, as Joey has already mentioned is that of the missing DLL. Check your Windows folder to see if the file msvfw32.dll is present or not, since its present in my case....

An extract from Google Groups:

A C program is not required to work right if its main function does not have one of these two types:

int main(void) { /*...*/ }
int main(int argc, char **argv) { /*...*/ }

In C, when a function defination or declaration is followed by an empty pair of parentheses it means that zero or more parameters. So main when written as int main( ) in C can stand for int main( int, int, int ) or int main( void, void ) or whatever, whereas the standard specifically says that the prototype of main can only be either int main( void ) or int main( int argc, char** argv ) . Hence the explicit void is required in case of pure C programs.

Whereas in C++ when a function defination or declaration is followed by an empty pair of parentheses it means it does not take any argument i.e. void . Hence the void can be safely omitted in C++.

With the only problem being the wrong prototype of main....:D

From an extract on NeHe's site:

All you need to know is that you MUST include the vfw.h header file and you must link to the vfw32.lib library file

Do you have the header as well as the library file on your computer... ?

Does the executable run well on your computer.. ?

Types of programming paradigms (note I am not saying types of Programming languages):

• Imperative - C, Ada, Pascal, Modula 2
• Functional - LISP, FP
• Aggregate - SQL, Mathematica
• Concurrent - SR, Lynx
• Dataflow language - Val, Sisal, Post
• Declarative - Prolog, Godel
• Object Oriented - C++, Java, C#

Functional languages leave the entire language at your disposal without having to import other "classes". The problem that arises with functional languages, is that you end up re-typing out code again and again.

You can always use packages...

Lisp is object-oriented

Object oriented and Funtional programming are two different paradigms altogether. Saying LISP is object oriented would be completely wrong.

One of the disadvantages of Object Oriented programming I can think of is clubbing the program to death by overusing the abstraction mechanism. As said by someone "Object oriented programming is actually writing simple programs the complicated way."

Though you need to have a firm understanding of some core concepts though I wouldn't call it advanced as such...

Huh..what is the code that you have pasted here...

Welcome to Daniweb my friend.. :D

And it would be better if you post your doubts in the Windows section to get the maximum help.

Hello there friend, welcome to Daniweb.. :D

And yeah Mr. Stymiee would be only glad to help you out... ;)
