I wasn't saying you were blindlessly following the masses. The thread ended up with some people thinking you should never do certain things such as using strstr in C++ or using goto in C/C++. I was trying to point out that the world isn't just black and white and you should think for yourself, doing the thing you think is more correct. I myself have worked on such projects as well, incorporating multiple languages C/C++/Asm/Perl/custom languages/etc within the same project, with the majority being in C++ because it's the better language for most of the job.

Moonshine:
That list is not very good considering one of the more important things C++ has is left out: polymorphism. It's what makes classes, same named functions, overloading, implicit casting, etc. work the way they do. Many of the things on the list is related to the things I mentioned, but not all of them.

I left out polymorphism and class related features for a reason, read iago's post in which I was replying to.

I believe he was referring to the list at faq.cprogramming.com which doesn't explicitly list polymorphism, but I think is implied with the virtual function listing.

Yeah I was referring to that list. Polymorphism is what enables virtual functions to work. When you do something like ChildA->go(), ChildB->go(), and Parent->go(), the compiler (either at compile time or code added to handle it at run time) will know which to use due to polymorphism. It's the same thing that lets you use operators the way you do and what allows you to have the same name (with varying qualifiers or arguments) for multiple functons. Leaving out polymorphism from that list is leaving out one off the language's greater features.

I think Moon probably knows what polymorphism is

Well, I gues this post has been productive for you all, but I'm still lost. Sorry it took me to get back on but I was gone.

Any help would still be appreciated!

Thnx

Code Select


if lcase(username) like (*azeroth) then
send "/ban " & username
endif

CrAz3D · June 24, 2003, 07:53 PM

Ok, & just change the *azeroth to the thing I get from taglist, thnx
That actually helped ____

lol, this could go down in the off-topic recordbooks

Conclusion: Everyone agrees that c++ should be avoided except when in cases of rebellion or invasion.
Err, was that Habeas Corpus...

[edit] i hope whoever decided to spell 'habeas' like that died a slow and painful death

replace("c++", "vb");

Oh by the way, I doubt you know what Habeas Corpus means, or what language it is in

CrAz3D · June 24, 2003, 09:09 PM

habeas corpus: some one is goes before a court to try & get out of imprisonment.

Such simple terms I use.

DarkMinion · June 24, 2003, 09:23 PM

No, I meant its literal meaning and language
