    SWeldon - 2008-07-15

    I know simple things in Borland C++... Like

    include <studio.h>

    include <conio.h>

    int main {void)
    {

    cout<<"Hello World!";

    return 0;

    }

    I just some how need to work / function the rest of the way. So I request Guidance from this community / the developer him/her self....
    What request entitles is the knowledge of who to program what I've got in mind.. I am using Dev C++ 4.9.9.2... Is this the best one to use ?
    If it is not what is best one to use?
    How do I get the updater to work right ?
    How do I get programming Examples to study to help me begin my designing?

    I have alot more question, but I wont it all here so please some one email with help to my private email : sweldon001@columbus.rr.com

      First of all it is bad form to publicly post your e-mail. Answers to your question should be posted to the forum for the benefit of all. Also you are consequently inviting your mail-box to be spammed once e-mail harvesting web-bots have spotted it. If forum members wish to contact you privately they can do so via your SourceForge account which will not reveal the personal address of either party.

      Secondly, the 'developer' was responsible for the Dev-C++ IDE only, not the compiler nor the design of the C/C++ languages themselves.

      Nice code you posted, shame about the typos and redundant non-standard header file! ;-)

      > I am using Dev C++ 4.9.9.2... Is this the best one to use ?

      It is the latest release of Dev-C++, and the only version you will get direct support for here. There is a derivative project wxDev-C++ which adds support for visual GUI development and for Microsoft compilers - http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ - arguably that is 'better'. If you are asking whether it is the best development tool to use, then probably not. It is simple and fast, but has a severely limited and buggy debugger integration.

      > How do I get the updater to work right ?

      Well it depends on how it is working 'wrong'. Here it just works. We cannot read minds!

      > How do I get programming Examples to study to help me begin my designing?

      Just looking at examples is not generally an effective method of learning programming unless it is fully backed up with explanatory notes and you also read the documentation for the libraries used and the programming constructs employed. It is much less and effective method of learning program "design", that is a different issue altogether.

      That said, your Dev-C++ installation has an "Examples" folder containing several projects. Also various project types come with project templates with initial framework or example code (See file->new->project). If you use the projects in the Examples folder, first copy the examples to a new folder outside of the Dev-C++ installation. That way you can modify them but still have the originals, but also because there is a bug in Dev-C++ that sometimes causes projects in folders below c:\dev-cpp\ to fail to build.

      No! No! No! That is not how it works.
