Ok...im trying to learn c++, and its the 1st language im learning (a bit of turbo pascal doesnt count) So I need ideas to grasp the very basics and to get to know them well...so any ideas?? :huh:

(I am talking about the basics of all basics - the noobiest basics, eg. basic use of arrays, functions, loops, etc.)

PS, pls dont make me look like a fool by giving ideas way out of my legue

Something simple... how about a fast food ordering simulator or an atm simulator.?

For example, if you were doig the atm simulator:

Just a basic menu for the user to choose from... deposit, withdrawal, balance inquiry, etc.

Functions to do the number crunching that return the new balance... after the user's type of transaction is complete.

etc...

How about a program which can store phone numbers and names, and then retrieve the phone numbers based on the name. (If you know File I/O)

Or...

Make a program which asks the user for integer input. Now calculate and output every prime number up till the ineger the user inputted.

Those should be pretty easy.

Pickup a SAMS book on learning C++ in 24 days or 24 hours, usually they have good exerices to work on at the end of every chapter. They are great for getting down all the basic concepts you need to know to be a good programmer.

god i hate those learn this is 24 hours books they are just plain anoying, and you come out at the end of it going,

"well i havnt learnt anything useful"

I find the most useful tutorials onl;ine but then again i can skip the bits on statements, so yeah get a book just not the silly treach yourself in 24 hourws books :/

heeeeeeeeyyy, I like those books, most teach you the basic tools you need, but then again to each his own, I cant make you like them

in my opinion, get a book, those 24 hrs ones were quite useful for me, if you are an extreme newbie (like me ), but if you already have the idea of certain basic concepts like:
input/output
functions
desicions
loops
classes
pointers and arrays (vector is a plus in C++ since thats your case )

you can build very powerful programs already like some of the already mentioned, if not read and learn and then you can call yourself an Advanced newbie B)
