Blasphemy! :twisted: Re: C++ advice (scanf/printf) 18 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon >>C is a small language, and is best served by a small book but it has an abnormally huge price! Just because K&R was written by the language's authors doesn't mean it is any better than books twice as big and half the price. That K&R book with white cover is grossly overrated.

Programming style is highly important in most competitions, and that's exceedingly poor style.

Programming style is… Re: C++ advice (scanf/printf) 18 Years Ago by Ancient Dragon I will agree that when writing c++ program use c++ stream classes and not resort to C. There are many benefits to using streams than just a few micro-nanoseconds speed. I wouldn't have even posted in this thread had I not read Narue's test and tried it on my own computer. I haven't used STLPort or boost libraries, so no comment there.

On a different note, I think I need to break the rust off my C++ skills. Your code makes me realize that C is not the be-all end-all of programming languages. Re: C++ advice (scanf/printf) 18 Years Ago by agiorgio [QUOTE=Narue]>C is not the be-all end-all of programming languages. Blasphemy! :twisted:[/QUOTE] That's what my boss says :) Still, spending the last five years writing low-level C code has given me a strong affinity for the language. K&R were right - C is a small language, and is best served by a small book. Re: C++ advice (scanf/printf) 18 Years Ago by brahle [QUOTE=Narue]I never mentioned I am in C++ development team!!!!!!!!!!
