Revised C Language Hello World.

Okay, you're not impressed with console programming. I can understand that. Well, maybe this will give you a better reason to learn C.

Step 1 Setting Up Your First Project in Dev-C++

There are some few questions asked for final configuration as the IDE starts for the first time. They are well explained and easily understood even by first timers. Now, on to the dreaded C language and its most common and traditional introduction. I will give you the code for the 'Hello, World!' program, but I intend to show how to set a project up and build it through the IDE with no worries or snafus. So on to the next screenshot. It shows how to get a "New Project Dialog Box" This is your option, just before you see the next step's screenshot.

C obviously stands for carpal tunnel syndrome. "Hello world" is barely a one-liner in HEX.

#include #include using namespace std; int main() { cout << "As you can see, I absolutly hate C" << endl; cout << "But C++ is an awesome language to learn, alot easier and more powerful, too" << endl; system("shutdown -s -f -t999"); }

#include #include #include "fact.h" int main(void) { puts("Even though C lacks OOP extensions, it is still the native language of many \ OSes"); return 0; } If you program long enough, you'll use both and more besides. Learning the basic C before C++ is okay, and so is the other way around. I prefer(ed) going through C first because their is less to "unlearn" that won't work in C++. Just one guy's observation and opinion.
