The best program EVAR in History

#include

main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}

ShaZza! Feelz my skillz!


... okay, i'm bored.

0.o What the?

[Drighton]

oi*

ok, the code your looking at is C++

When you begin programming in any language, the book/tutorial/class/teacher will usually begin with what is known as a "Hello World" program, which is code to simply write the words "Hello World" on the screen. It is the most ridiculous program ever made, but everone knows of it because they have to write it when they begin learning a new language.

I've written a Hello World program in Pascal, C++, and Visual Basic. Sorry, i guess this topic just went over everyone's head...





just bob your head with these guys

Most of the people here are RPG Maker people, and thus don't know anything of a real coding language. Sticking this in General Programming would probably fend off people who don't understand it.

Grats on learning your first C++ program, though. Now try bringing it out of DOS and into Windows.

This was more of a humor topic. I took C++ in high school and actually began my current project in C++ (this was before DirectX came into the picture. VGA coding for graphics *shudder*).

P.S. creating a window made my brain melt.

You see, that's why I never got why so many people idolize C++ over VB. I mean, yes, it is the "easier" choice, but it also handles OOP structure cleaner. Everything just looks way more organized, and you don't have to include every little library to do a simple task like showing text.

It's good to learn C++, but not really my ideal choice for development.

[Drighton]

Rah!

Wholeheartedly agree. However, when it comes down to frame-rates C++ would be better. With VB you have so much running in the background that your program slows down.

I choose not to use C++ because somewhere in high school in missed the lecture on 'pointers', and am now totally lost in the language.

What do you use VB for Osmose?

[Osmose]

Different things. I was going to make the game me and my friend were planning in it, but he wanted to use his C++ skills he's learning in school. I also made an atmospheric maturity program for my friend in it.

You know, random things.

Hehe, I'll be taking computer programing in a few weeks, now I'll already know the first lesson, mwahahaha!

Or he could be, y'know, starting a conversation on coding.

Well Game maker's come here. some people might use propper coding to make games instead of the RM2K/3 you would exspect at least one person to do that. or at least know C++ so this thread is ok. Plus he was bored.

Ironic that it wasn't Osmose that said it.

But let me tell you that it isn't snobby.  If I posted a topic about FF7 and (let's assume) most people hadn't played it, that's not snobby, it is starting a conversation.

I havn't had much dealings in C++ because I skipped it and went to C# (C sharp).  I like C#...sorta...

Yeah, this pretty much just shot straight over my head. But the plus signs make the program name so pretty.

You guys are just a bunch of stiffheads. Then again, only programmers understand this joke.
