Objects are the biggest difference between C++ and C. One of the earliest names for C++ was C with Classes.Classes and ObjectsA class is a definition of an object. It's a type just like int. A class resembles a struct with just one difference : all st...

Welcome to About.com's free C++ programming tutorial This C++ tutorial features a series of lessons designed to teach you the basics of C++ programming. If you are completely new to programming read these articles first to give you an idea what is in...

C++ is a general purpose programming language invented in the early 1980s by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs. It is similar to C, invented in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie, but is a safer language than C and includes modern programming techniques s...

This topic provides you with the A to Z of programming in C, C++ and C#. Visit the three sections (C, C++ and C#) to find instructions on getting started with each language, how to download and install compilers, and start working through the tutoria...

When you write an application, unless it is trivial, one of the first problems you need to think about is how to hold data in memory. Your application may use a database but you will probably need some way to handle the data in memory. One way to hold...

In its role as a high level assembler used for writing operating systems, C is often used to access memory locations and change individual bits. You might for example need to access individual bits in an int. It can sometimes be useful to conserve mem...

This lesson is about using random access files in C and the following lesson will look at working with text files. Apart from the simplest of applications, most programs have to read or write files. Maybe it's just for reading a config file, or a text...

We've briefly used functions before; strcpy() was used to assign a string. If you've used a spreadsheet worksheet function before then you'll have a good idea what a function is like. It's a block of code that can be called from anywhere in your appli...

In this tutorial I'll be looking in detail about text strings in C, how to work with them etc. First a recap. There is no such thing as a string type in c. Other languages - C++, Delphi, C#, Java etc, all support a string type but C doesn't. In C, if...

In this lesson, we'll be covering the major control statements which are for , while , do while , switch and if . With these under your belt, you are well on the way to becoming a seasoned programmer. The If StatementPrograms need to make decisions. S...

Pointers are probably the part of C programming that cause the most grief. However, due to the simplicity of C, to do anything non trivial you have to use pointers. They aren't that bad, but if you're new to them they will cause you troubles. It is al...

In Lesson two we saw how to assign values to ints and floats. These assignment statements have a very simple structure. Variable = Expression We know what a variable is, i.e. somewhere to store the value of the expression, but just what is an expressi...

So far the only variables I've covered have been numeric; ints and floats. If we had to limit ourselves to those, it would make programming very limited and processing text next to impossible. C is perhaps not the easiest language to use for text hand...

In C there are two types of numbers. Ints and floats. There are also variants of these types that hold bigger numbers, or only unsigned numbers but they are still ints or floats. An int is a whole number like 47 without a decimal point. You can't have...
