Hi, can any1 explain wat's the different btw C, C++ programming language ?

Wat's the bible for those above programming language which suitable for beginner to learn ? Thx in advance.

I'm not a C wiz, but I think C++ has advantage in OOP

the best bible? Of course, the book that has the athor called Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (these poeple are the developers of C and C++)

Hi ,

The C++ language supports all syntax of C Language plus some new features.
The most important feature of C++ is it's ability to implement OOP codes.

OOP concepts include class definition, and calss manipulations that itself needs a 3 units university course to be learned.

However there is no difference between C and C++ at the starting time. However I suggest to start with C++. And if you are interested to work in visual space I prefer to have a look at C# language. Thats the best for Visual programming in VS.NET similar environments.

I disagree with eelinker.
I think you better to start from C and then learn C++. The reason is that C gives us basics of language. Also in some fields of EDA design (for example - microprocessors programming) you will need knowledge of C language, not C++.

I also recommend you to learn C/C++ language before C#, if you want to learn C#.
IMHO C# is very simple and easy learning language, but it does not learn you how does it all really works

Well, it's only my own opinion.
Make your choise!

You better start learning C, not with C++ or C#.

In electronics C is the basic high-level programming language

IF you want to program only PC's you may choose to start with C#.

I started learning programming for micro's,... in C and programming on PC's I started with Visual Basic

C first than C++

 

[iana_nk]

yup, in my point of view, it is proper for you to start with C 1st, then migrate to C++ and C#. don't worry.. once you can understand the concept very well, c++ is not a big problem to you.

~ it s works very well on me

The famous Deitel books can be useful too, to get started

the bible for c++ is 'object oriented programming' by Robert lafore

 

[vizard356]

Start With C then C++ then Java or C#.
C Language is very important in electronics after assembly language.
right now i m using it to do micro controller programming.

Hi all,

So much said and noted, I may say this-

C is the first most fundamental structured and 'complete' high level language. Ofcourse C++, JAVA, C# differ in style where as all of them have derived their structure more or less from C.

Coming to application part- C is still a particularly popular choice and might continue to be so for Embedded, DSP, Instrumentation, computer controlled automation and similar fields/domains.

Whereas an integrated platform like Visual Studio or VS.NET offers much more powerful and structured features which are otherwise very difficult (rather very very difficult..!!!) to implement. For ex implementing a 'class' is easier here. These features are more handy if we are talking about domains like software development and related ones.

Hope my effort summarises the discussion.

Thx for all u guys advice & suggestion. I think start with C is the best for me because im using it for Microprocessor programming Thx again !

 

[mihirtronics]

C makes a better option as far as embedded programming is concerned.. for eg. Kiel or Embedded C.
C has an edge over C++ in embedded systems due to the fact that C++ consumes much space in its library files, which are more in number than that of C.

 

[l_leckraj]

C++ is object oriented language, unlike C

 

[mihun]

I am confused. If C++ is better, why will I waste time studying C ?

 

[neoaspilet11]

It depends your application.. But embedded systems are usually coded in C. If you are into software development you may use C++ or any other object oriented languages

 

[money_kandan2004]

hai, here iam attached one ppt regarding c & c++
you gothrough that material. you get an idea.

thank u,

 

[suru]

c is used for microcntroller programming not c++.i think doesn't have support for low & high level labguages.

 

[sundaram]

hi... for beginners it would be best to go with C.... C++ is more advanced and hence a bit complicated than C.... But C++ has some useful concepts that C does not. The most important is Object Oriented Programming Systems. But if u master in C, that too is sufficient....
