RE: [Dev-C++] c or c++. that is the question

Ioannis wearing his bullet-proof vest:


Keep in mind that the prevalent X-Window library now is a C++ one. Also =
most
new GNU/Linux programs are being written in C++ these days...


File sizes for the hello world program should not be different.

many reasons..., here's the first that comes to my mind....

and ease of use is subjective :)

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("hello world");
    return 0;
}
---------------------------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    cout << "hello world";
    return 0;
}

or, since everything 'should' be a class/object:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Hello
{
    public:
    void print(void)
    {
        cout << "hello world" << endl;
    }
};
int main(void)
{
      Hello* p =3D new Hello;
      p -> print();
      delete p;
      return 0;
}

Greetings!

Here is a question for all: why would anyone use c when c++ is so much
easier?
