Answer 28

bbetter you should have taken any othe barnch..

Answer 29

@Gary Ahuja: Strong command over C, C#, Python and JAVA is not needed to be good in C++. I learned C++ first, then C#, then JAVA (little bit), and learning python and F# now.

Answer 30

but.... for the sake of moving on in my career.. i am forced to learn c++ and it has been the hardest thing i have had to do

Answer 31

why have you taken the branch of computer science ?????

Answer 32

what are u talking about... i never chose computer science... when u grow up and go to college u will have to take classes that you dont want to

Answer 33

@Drifta808: Absolutely correct, I am forced to study mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, drawing, workshop (mechanical), economics, English. By the way, I am a Computer Science student.

Answer 34

adhokshaj really? :DD
I am also CS (to be precise software engineer student but it's almost same thing) but we don't have any physics, drawing economic English. And so much physics really doesn't make sense

Answer 35

drifta still arent you clear???? got your program done????

Answer 36

i think today was last day to submit it :D

Answer 37

@Tomas: Really we have study all these subjects.

Answer 38

A class is basically a blueprint for objects of that type. An object has attributes, and methods (member functions). These can be thought of as nouns and verbs, respectively. Public variables and functions can be accessed by the client programmer, the user of the class. Private members can only be accessed from inside the object. Generally, a public function would return a value, it may call a private function to do the dirty detail work, which isn't and shouldn't be of concern to the client programmer.

The main() function starts the program, and kind of orchestrates the objects doing their thing. It's a mind set that does take a bit of getting used to, but that's Object Oriented Programming (OOP). C++ does have it's challenges, but IMHO, is the broadest ranging language.

Answer 39

rsmith is right about the breadth and flexibility of C++.

Answer 40

too bad he don't cares about programming because he wants to be astronomer! :D

Answer 41

and this strange man has written that he is an astronomer rather that writing he wants to be an astronomer.

Answer 42

hes in first year of astronomy studies

Answer 43

ooooohhhh
