- I am 17 years old, I have a rudimentary understanding of both C and C++ at this
- point.(I know Pascal well) I want to really delve into something at this point.
- My eventual goal is to either start my own software company, or work for one as
- a programmer. Should I concentrate only on C++ for now, only C for now, or
- both? Or does it not really matter? I have read up on C++ and I really don't
- see much benefit from it. People have kept applications in order (mostly) for
- years without 'object oriented' programming...and C seems to be faster and much
- less of a pain.
-
- I have a few programs in mind were object orientation would be a more natural
- way of going about the program (evolution similuations) but a lot of programs
- don't really benefit from it at all. The biggest improvements in C++ that I
- can see at this point are COUT/CIN, the comments, and NEW and DELETE...the rest
- just seems to make me type and think more. Is it because I am just not used to
- the idea yet or is it really more complicated? The thing I hate most is the way
- member functions have to be outside of their class, totally counter intuitive
- and makes things very hard to follow.
