Where to get C++

[saigalp]

My nephew who is in 9 th class requires C++ language to practice at home. Where can I get it for him. Is it dowloadable from some site or what? Please help.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

u want C++ language ?? lolzz ok u bring me english language i want to learn it !! hehe its also a language not something u can get it and give it

download an IDE - Integrated Development Environment

in an IDE u can type your C++ programs and compile them using the compiler integrated with it

google search C++ IDE !!

or use this Dev C++

Dev C++ is a very good IDE !!

Ditch Turbo C++ use Relo !

[abhijangda]

just do a google search. Isn't it strange that his nphew who is in 9th class requires c++ such a high level language. Is it in school syllabus or just he is practising at home bcoz of his interest.

ICSE n CSBE both have C++ from 9th

Also , it Should be Low-Level instead of High-Level

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

if u meant C++ learning resources or C++ books then

then get it from here
http://www.freeprogrammingresources.com/cppbooks.html

and
http://www.computer-books.us/cpp.php

basically there are infinite resources to learn C++ on the net

just google properly with proper terms !

[slugger]

you may use Turbo C++ which is probably what he will b using in school anyway. It is availabe 4 free d/l and usage from here

Turbo C++

u could also d/l Visual C++ Express also a freeware
but it is better not 2 get kids hooked on 2 MS devp platform so early on in life

ya i agree with u

lets start teaching them Assembly Language. Te lowest level language

This might also help .

u can compile TC programs using Borland's Latest Free compiler instead of the old TC which does not work fine under Windows Vista/XP/2000

and why would be that . They're giving a much much Better IDE for Free what more do u want .

indian education system yaar...... kabhi b kuch b padate hai......
i studied c++ in 11th ,12th (cbse) then again in 2nd sem in engg.....

[praka123]

^huh!?for me in my engg(now lost!) 3rd & 4th sem we got fortran77,pascal and C. but the yr was 97-01

[Quiz_Master]

We are studying C++ for the first time in our study record. (BCA 3rd Sem.).

We studied PASCAL in 1st and 2nd Sem.

[raina_rocks]

arey dude im into 3rd yr of engg ie 5th sem..... no other language done other than c n c++
java in this sem......
n wat they teach here in m.u is impossible to understand....

[Garbage]

Then I must say that our (B.Sc. Computer Science - Pune University) syllabus is very nice.
We have C in First Year. C++ in second year & JAVA core & advance in Third Year as main languages !!!

YEs Buddy........Kabhi bi Kuck Bi Badal Sakta Hai........
I am in class 10 (CBSE Board) in ktm,Nepal............Due to the regular change in syllabus ... Few ncert books r yet to arrive here....

Buddy it has been 2 weks only......
How can we find out whether it is low or high level

No , i m in 9th and in my school they are teaching us with ancient book of Word 2000

i started learning C by myself now

[raina_rocks]

9th mein word.....tats true yaar...... i also learned such things in 9th......
@shirish...... mumbai univ n pune univ syllabus r not tat diff...... i did c n c++in 1st yr.... n nw java in 3rd.... (engg)......
they r teachin us assembly lang now(masm) in 3rd yr
@max..... learnin by urself is d best option

[navjotjsingh]

And in my time, no Windows in our schools. All 12 years of my schooling I just saw MS DOS 6.22! (1990-2002)

[raina_rocks]

^^ wat r u sayin yaar....... windows was introduced long time ago....
wich scool u were in???

[navjotjsingh]

Our school goes by CBSE and till 2002, Windows was not required/part of the syllabus so our school's PC always remained on DOS. See the cost saving.

Then i recommend that you start out with C# or Java which are much much more logical n better n with them you can concentrate more on your programming skills rather than spending time with petty stuff(read string handling as arrays)

[Pathik]

i wd say that kids interested in computers shd be taught languages like c,c++,java,c#,vb,php,sql etc in school itself.. Instead of useless stuff like evs,geography,history nd stuff..
My schooling (like many others) was a waste acc to me..

[Garbage]

^^ NEVER !!!

u use that knowledge anyhow in your life. Those subjects never waste of time !!!

[raina_rocks]

^^ those subjects r a waste of time.....where do u use history , geo,etc....bas apne baccho ko padane ke kaam aayega......
@pathiks..... ya dude...... i agree with u.....

[max_demon]

+1 for patiks and shrish .
what i think is that the students should be taught subjects which they need practically need in future .

for example maths , the students must have more subjects in maths and science .
.like , the student may choose his path from std 1st only .!

the syllebus must be like this

1st basic computing/hardware
2nd input/output , logo
3rd Basic, DOS
4th Windows,internet,www, gaming
5th advanced hardware , networking , photoshop
6th HTML , VB
7th C,C++
8th ASP.net , java ,Oracle
9th Hacking, advance java (must have homework like , make distro in 5 days and show)

10th Chip level repairing , making commercial software , making OSes other than linux , developing games .

Survival of the fittest

[Garbage]

So, u think INDIA must produce all IT students.
How could only IT mans live in world dear ??? We also need History / geography persons @!!!

[Faun]

Yeah all subjects are equally good, its a matter of liking that distorts ur perception.

Everything u ever learned pays off some day.
For what purpose will u use programming if u dont know the practical scenario for which u are making ur project/programs

for example ang GIS system needs an understanding of geography
Bioinformatics needs study of basic bio and other related tech.
Banking application needs knowledge of accountancy
prediction of future by any software depends upon the historical trends

and afterall learning all programming language dont make any sense since its like monotonous road u r walking on.
If u get to know C and C++ then u can expect to learn 90% other programming languages in less than a weeks learning curve.

that will be the most tuffest curriculum ever, and its not practical in approach.
Photoshop is like an art that can not be learned in 1 year, its a continuous learning.

So where the other fields go, are we making civilised citizen or just mechanical robots that can do just programming and all.

Then its better to deploy robots. That wont be the survial of fittest but the rage against the machine.

i agree with u d00d, v must be exposed to all d available branches, learn what it is that they have to offer and only then would we b in a position to make a decision about waht path we would choose in our life
learning about history gives us the ability to appreciate our present and serve as a reminder to us to avoid following the path taken by our predecessors which had caused their downfall

learning abut geography gives us the ability to appreciate our physcal surrounding and be in a better position to understand the diverse condition that exist on our planet

on lighter note a geologist [geography] will know where to mine 4 silicon/copper and a historian will tell him where not to repeat history

What would then happen to things like GIS/GPS, localisation, music softwares and such? Those preparing such softwares need to know as much as possible about the concerned field.
