C++ is a big deal for software engineers. What this means for programmers working in the.NET stack is a little different. The.NET stack allows programmers to go from a “functional” programming style that doesn’t suffer from the “magic” of the garbage collected language, to a “OO” coding style where all variables are defined at the start of the file and are shared between all of the objects in the file.
In this article we’ll cover the basics of C++.
So what’s the big deal? Well, the big deal is that once you start using the language, you’re really going to learn how to use all the class based features of the language. For instance, you’ll start to know how to use the auto keyword. You’ll start to learn about inheritance. You’ll start to understand how to use the “using” statement and other constructs that let you control the scope of a variable.
The big problem with using the language is, like it or not, you will learn a lot of stuff in the process. I use C++ and am so glad I do. I find the language is so much faster and more efficient at doing a lot of the things that I used to do in languages with limited classes.
I don’t know why I picked C over any of the others for my class, but I think it’s because of the auto keyword. It’s one of the most important keywords in the language, and you’ll learn a ton of cool things about the way it works.
I’ve been using C for a long time, so this was interesting to me. There are different ways that you can implement the auto keyword, but I think this is the best solution.
Well as I started to type my second sentence, the entire class started to flash red and then the computer froze and this time I had to restart. This time I could see my class in red. I could see the auto keyword. I could see the compiler complaining about the auto keyword. I could see my compiler telling me that I was using a null pointer. And I could see the auto keyword. So I was forced to restart my program. And then I had to restart again.
Even though this solution is simple, it can be dangerous. The compiler makes an assumption about how your program should work. If the compiler doesn’t know how your program works, it may be confused and you may have to reinstall the compiler. The problem is that the auto keyword is a null pointer. So after I restarted my program, I wasn’t able to actually see my class in red again. That means I can’t actually use the auto keyword to access the members of my class.
You could try using static with the auto keyword, but it will also cause errors, because it will mean that you have to declare the variable before the statement using the auto keyword. The compiler will be unable to detect that you have defined the variable before the statement using the auto keyword.
I have a friend who is very fond of the “array” type, but I have to say that for me it is just a little bit harder to use than I would like. I think I got used to it, but after a few months I started to feel like there was a lack of understanding that I shouldnt have to explain to our other classmates.
