versions

[onauc]

Hi,

There are many versions of C and C++ built by many different companies.
So, which version :

1. more easier to learn
2. more easier to remember
3. more easier to debug
4. helps me find errors fast and professionally
5. more portable
6. has the biggest community
7. has more tutorials widely available
8. has it’s source code all over the internet
9. and so on

If C++ is an extension of C then why isn’t it called the new version of C instead of having a different name ?
And, why isn’t it called C+ instead of C++ ?
Was there ever a C+ ?
Who created the C++ and why couldn’t they give a different name instead of copying the name from C ?
Anything else I should know ?

You can use any one of thoes. But for schools mostly used g++ (for linux/unix)
or Visual C++6/Visual C++.Net

and for the other questions all are common questions, just search google.

Wrong, there are different versions of C/C++ compilers, but only 1 version of ANSI C and ANSI C is the accept standards that all compilers are trying to be compatable with. Don't get the 2 mixed up.

Now to answer your questions

Quote:

1. more easier to learn

ANSI C is ANSI C so there is no easier version

Quote:

2. more easier to remember

See above.

3. more easier to debug

The ease of debugging isn't going to come fromt he language but from the compilers/ide's. The easiest to debug in IMO is Visual Studio. If you can't use it, then get gcc/g++ and use GDB for your debugger. If you run *nix as your os you can also use something like DDD for a front in to GDB.

5. more portable

C does not provide for portability. You, the programmer, has to provide for that. That takes a little work but is easily doable.

Quote:

6. has the biggest community

All C/C++ communites work for ANSI C/C++

Quote:

7. has more tutorials widely available

Again, all C tutorials should work nicely

Quote:

8. has it’s source code all over the internet

Again, tons of C source ot be found with a little searchign on google
