Which Language do you Prefer?

Tell us which Language you prefer to code in!

C++. Which makes me wonder why the forum is in C! (hint read subheading on this forum).

Just starting out with C++!
Anyone have any good exercises apart from the ones on cplusplus.com? Done a calculator, that's about it. Reading about if statements and switch statements.

Been a long time since I've coded though.

@ bloodshot: Getting a good grasp of the basics would really be best before you go into exercises, if you will. Like a calculator- basically requires loops and logic (if's or switches).

Once you get into the actual C++ part (right now its all C for you; albeit with a different syntax (cout instead of printf, it is still C) - OOP - then you'll be able to have alot of fun with the language. Classes and objects are alot of fun, if sometimes plagued by that one headache inducing logic error- if you'd like a challenging (read - you probably will not complete it fully) "challenge assignment", why don't you recreate the string class? Start small, start simple- use c-string logic (character arrays) to begin with, then work your way up from there as you learn new aspects. Just don't cheat by viewing the c-string code- you can look at the string source (its muddled enough) if you need some basic direction.

It really depends on what I want to do, but my 3 favorite languages are C++, C# and PHP.

Also, I really like SourcePawn.

 

[GreatNate]

I learned C++, but I've really used Java heavily

 

[Legit Tiger]

Yeah you should probably use c++, java, or c#

 

[The Slayer]

C!! :d

 

[Lucas15]

I don't really code, but I prefer PHP. By the way, you forgot HTML and XML. ;D

 

[spidEY]

By the way, you forgot HTML and XML. ;D

Those aren't programming languages.

 

[Ph?bus]

So much C in this thread. O_O

Java >

 

[Dominion]

Depends on the application, you can't really choose just one.

As for me, I use C almost exclusively at work (embedded systems).

 

[Bryan]

Java

C++ and Java = EPIC WIN

 

[Fr0zen_Banana]

C++, is C.. (just a superset)

C# is Java... (kinda)

They are all useful, they are all a tool in the toolbox..


here is one of my favorite quotes regarding programing languages.

More good code has been written in languages denounced as bad than in languages proclaimed wonderful -- much more. -- Bjarne Stroustrup, from The Design and Evolution of C++

Either C/C++ or Perl, depending on the situation.

My senior year, I took "Advanced Unix Programming". I had to write a battleship game that had a "server" that people could connect to (via sockets) and battle each other...
