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.
 
@ 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. :)

I don't really code, but I prefer PHP. By the way, you forgot HTML and XML. ;D
 
Depends on the application, you can't really choose just one.

As for me, I use C almost exclusively at work (embedded systems).
 
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++
 
c++, currently coding a game of Battleship for my Final Project :)

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...
