holy shit lean C++ online

dr_wolf · 04-27-11, 11:18 PM

There is a lot of tutorials just try at youtube and you will find there

acarmelo1 · 04-27-11, 11:20 PM

C++ is easy, where are you stuck up?

COYLO · 04-28-11, 07:21 AM

i have to write a simple programme to issue tickets ie:

$11 to visit a house and gardens or $7 just to visit gardens. i also need to add a loop to keep issuing tickets while there are people in the queue, followed by an instrustion to take a break.

this is what ive got so far

Do not use an if

use a while and have a question benign answered at the end like "Will you like to buy another ticket Y/N)

The while must be like

Example
int b ;
String a = "Y";

While a == "Y"**
printf("Press 1 if you want to go to the house and garden press 2 if you only want the gardens");
Scanf(b);
If a == 1
printf("You have been charged 11 dollars");
Else
printf("You have been charged 7 dollars");

Printf("Do you want to buy another ticket Y/N?";
Scanf(a);
**
printf("Have a great Day");

End

Something like that, there is more code to it. But that should be enough for you to finifsh it up.

thank you very much acarmelo

nitpicking here, but it should be "if b ==1" since a is a string.

otherwise, that's pretty much the whole project.

I would advise not following youtube on learning c++ as most of them are not programmers that really understand the language. To the thread starter if you looking into getting in the field or programming you need to under the basic and fundamental first. I would advise you also not to go to a university where computer science is a big major. A lot of the possessor are not going to teach the fundamentals. You must come in knowing programming. You best bet is to take a course at a university that teaches the basic not places like ivy leagues, caltech or mit but something that is teaching friendly. Many city and state school might be the right place.

Yes and because the simple things can be learned this way,but if you want to learn you need to work.

Nittany Lion · 04-30-11, 12:27 AM

I hated my programming class when I was in college, can't stand that stuff.

dr_wolf · 05-02-11, 10:30 AM

never is too late to start learning

some people aren't computer savy, if you are just do a google search there are plenty of sites out there, I took a class and probably learned more online

goofyre · 05-02-11, 11:20 PM

I took C# in college for 2 semesters and its nice to know but definitely took some time to learn. I'm goin to try and learn php this summer though since it'd be a lot more helpful to me.

juuso · 05-02-11, 11:28 PM

c++ can be pretty challenging. Have to be good with maths/logical thinking.

CreaturE · 05-02-11, 11:32 PM

http://www.learncpp.com/ I'm sure you could have found it by typing in the same thing I did on google. "learn C++"
I've used it for a while now, it's pretty helpful. I'm sure I'll eventually need a formal class though, but for the time being, it's pretty useful.

spurginobili · 05-03-11, 04:45 PM

I took a programming class in college and dropped it the first week.

Maverick22 · 05-04-11, 05:24 PM

Java > C++

Dude...dont you have a used bookstore in your town? Find one... there will be plenty of C++ books...

First... find a youtube video on understanding what exactly a variable is (is not a language specific concept).

I think once you get passed that... there are less things to discourage you.

Then, open up the book mentioned above, and put in work. There are no short cuts...

After that... Put in more work...

Rinse, and repeat.

If you want short cuts[or think they exist]... Stop now, because you are going to waste your time [someway or another].

Any gaps or questions... youtube your way into it... [BUT] dont use youtube as your only source of reference...

If you have some money to spare. Get a membership @ books24x7.com [You'll thank me afterwards]

What is this? C+

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN C+? WHAT IS THIS

COYLO · 05-05-11, 10:57 AM

thanks guy's picking it up pretty easily now, that one question was kinda worded wrong on the assignment thats what threw me off.

dr_wolf · 05-07-11, 12:19 AM

So success in you learning have a nice day.

Thread title is C++ programming....should give you a clue.

horsiehung · 05-07-11, 12:49 AM

i learned basic programming in the 80s not much since then!

LordCC · 05-07-11, 01:42 AM

I tried taking a few programming classes in college like Visual Basic & C++. It was like greek to me and never have I been more frustrated in my life. It gave me headaches and something I could live without. To people that can do it, you have my respect, it was very difficult for me.
