General computer talk/advice

depends on the person

 

as someone that has actively taught classes, you might want to take my advice...

 

Working on a laptop my mum's friend lent her until she can get a new one (will be a Thinkpad ofc )

It's an old Acer 5610, centrino duo, nothing out of this world but it's all for word processing pretty much. She's already went ahead and got an early 90s IBM model m though lol. Just need to replace the XP Media version installation with Windows 7. Interestingly it only supports 32bit operating systems too.

Sorry for the picture quality, my tablet can seems to not like anything other than bright lighting.

 

Code:

int(*(*f)(void))[3]

Have fun

 

can you tell me whats with the sarcasm I know it's not as easy as 123 abc

 

6677 is right - learning C++ with no previous programming experience is a bad idea. Start with something like Python instead.

 

I am getting the hang of it and I know a bit about java and phyton

 

you could look for a computer from 1989. bondwell brand. those have cherry blue swtiches. i have one, but the floppy drives dont read anything.
edit.
ooops. really late. oh well.

 

I'm starting with C purely because that's what my HS teaches. It's a bit odd, but works. If you're going to learn C++ I would start with very basic C honestly. Only if you refuse to learn anything else though

 

No. Really. Start with Python. C++ is a whole lot harder.

Say, what do you even plan to program? What is your goal of this?

 

I don't know yet and I have learned quite a bit of c and I havent had a problem

 

Then why are you learning it? It'd be easier to learn something like Python or even Java (don't try justBASIC, that's evil), and you'd probably be able to get done what you want with Python.

 

I just have a likeing for C++ I have been watching alot of video tutorials on C++ and been learning it on the interactive coding language learning site SoloLearn and I am getting the hang of it I learned the basics in 2 hours

There's a difference between learning C, and "learning" C. I "learned" C.

 

I meant C++
that was a typo

 

His statement still applies.

 

That's a pretty good website I would think, but you can't just pick up a programming language in a few days, plus watching videos with small practices won't really teach you what really matters. You just gotta start writing programs. For C++ and C, you can get the Dev-CPP Bloodshed compiler/IDE and write programs there. It's good fun once you get the hang of it, and it'll give you the hands on experience anyone needs to master something like C++.

 

I know it dosen't take a few days I will practise for months before I make anything

 

Are you replying to me? If so, I wasn't being sarcastic, I was trying to help him - both in advice and in software choice. When I was younger, I tried to learn programming by just reading about it and whatnot, but I learned you absolutely need hands on experience to be proficient at it.
