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

[AngleWyrm]

Yea? Look what I can do: C++ hat random container template library addition

[boran_blok]

Lemme tell you, that is C not C++ it might be C++ syntax but C++ implies OO programming. dunno if you guys see that.
having a single main aint a good sign

but if it's meant to be procedural it looks like a well structured program.

[Fyron]

C++ is not strictly object oriented. It is well suited for procedural programming (more so than the ever so clunky C).

[geoschmo]

Aww you guys are tough.

Yeah we did the "Hello world" stuff in class. Everything up to this point was copying down code that the instructor did or doing the step by step stuff in the book. This one was the first one that I wrote on my own. All I had to work with was what the input and required output was supposed to look like.

And as far as it being C instead of C++, all I have to say to that is, even better. I'm bilingual!
