C++ is a language, pictures aren't gonna help you much i'm afraid.

what is C++ is it completly nothing like just text no dowloading no nothing or is it a program i got to clear things out for my self

OK, this is going to be in very simple language and it will assume you are an idiot (im not saying you are, and dont take offence if it is too dumbed down)

c++ is a language, it is made so that humans (with a bit of learning) can understand it, but that with a special translator computers can understand it too.

You just write lots of words in a special way, then after writing them, you press a special button and the words get turned into stuff that computers understand.

You have to have a program that turns the c++ into computer language. this is called a compiler, and you will have to find one to download.

so why do you want to use it anyway? so that you can tell a computer to do stuff that no-one has ever wanted a computer to do before.

c++ is very complex for a beginner, but once you understand how it works, the rest is just practise.

if you want to make programs then you may want an SDK (software development kit) this is just lots of stuff put together, like a compiler + something that fixes mistakes you made + other cool stuff. and SDK is usefull because it will tell you if you mis-typed something, instead of you searching for hours. but it cant fix all bugs, so you still need to debug, just about anything you write (even just 3-4 lines of code will have a mistake somewhere).

before you learn, you need some in-depth computer knowledge. so go look stuff up when you hear about it.

*bump* the thing is for now i only heard this

*C++ exists (lol)

*there are a lot of stuff that you need to add like // /* () and more (this is important)

and maybe more just i forgot it by now

Download this compiler ( http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html ) and start playing with simple code. Start out by reading the "Basics of C++" here: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

I guess you could try Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. It's the latest version and looks quite nice. Although some people don't like it, seems ok to me.

Also includes the MSDN tool to get help for certain parts of programming if you decide to install it with the package (Extra 200+mb).

Enjoy

please close i downloaded some stuff tryed to make some thing but the thing i make shuts down not even started i think this is too complicated to learn by just wanting... maybe some other time

[erorr404]

Here's a step by step process:

Open Dev-C++, go to File > New > Project, click Console Application and type in a name, save it somewhere, and paste the following into the editor:

#include 
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
 cout << "Hello World!";

 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;
}

Then hit the Compile and Run button on the top left, and the program should be launced.

i got something better then C++ its easyer and more basic its easy to begin with just hard to learn coding

[[DRuG].h0z]

1stly, dont start with c++, i cant just jump in and learn in, id recomend learning c 1st cos c++ is a drivative of c 2ndly start with basics like VB or html or pascal, much easier to help you under stand the logic, especially if ur teaching urself, i have taught myself html css js and im not onto c/pawn/c++

and im still having trouble with the logic
