OT: Look what I can do...

My first C++ program.

Yay me.

Code:

[General Woundwort]

Interested in doing my Python homework?

[DarkHorse]

That can't be right. I don't see "hello world" anywhere in that code.

[Fyron]

Yeah, that program is all wrong.

[Combat Wombat]

I don't believe you can legally have a first C++ program without it including "Hello World".

[Aiken]

It only means that geo's really first programm was written in Basic.
But he will never admit it

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

What is spagetti code/a "Hello World" program?

Spaghetti code is exactly what it sounds like. It's stringy, messy, and gets all over the place. It's hard to pick it up, and you would in general just be better off cutting it into smaller pieces that are easier to deal with. So, like SJ's early program, full of GOTO statements, etc, instead of using "nice" loop structures, functions, and other things that make writing and reading programs easier.

"Hello World" is the traditional first program. All it does is output the text "Hello World" to standard output, then exits.

The 500 or so lines of spagetti code was my first time creating a fairly good program. It was "Guess the Animal", kinda like twenty questions where the computer will ask you a question, and you answer it. It did very good, and would even learn from its mistakes I even implimented a save and load feature, complete with my own file type! And it had a nice blue background

aaaahm so we are taking a walk down memory lane and sharing our 'First' Programming experience..

For me it was Atari Basic on the Atari 800 Computer. Aaah, the good old ways of line numbering and GOTO, GOSUB.. But the Atari let you place multiple commands on one line so you could cheat.

On the PC My first programming was with GW-Basic which came with the computer and I eventually graduated to Quick Basic 4.5 which allowed me to 'compile executables' allthough it was still an interpreted language when coding.

I'm still waiting for an 'Interpreted C language, I hate having to code, compile, run, code compile run,.. I miss the code, run, code, run, compile, share method.
