Is c++ really best?
-
Hi, I am just wondering about this. Everyone you speak to says c++ is best. Is it actually, when you consider that it precompiles all code to c, before compiling? If that is true, then surely you would be able to do everything c++ can do in c. So, thinking of that, c should be faster. I am not trying to start an argument, but its just a question.

But then, you could also do it all in assembler, or entering the codes directly with a hex editor. Sometimes you need a bigger hammer, other times you just want one. toticow wrote: So, thinking of that, c should be faster. No. That depends partially on the compiler used, but mostly on the programmer using it. toticow wrote: am not trying to start an argument, but its just a question. Glad i was able to enlighten you. :)

What programming language is "best" is a lot like school lunch: it's all what you see it to be. Like in the school lunch, they say it's chicken parmesean, when you know full well it's the crispy chicken from yesterday w/ some melted cheese on it. You really have to look at it abstractly more than anything. If they say it's chicken parmesean, it's chicken parmesean. <---signature---> Your kid gets into Duke. You pay the tuition.

Best for what? Programming languages are tools. Pick the best tool for the job.

Well, it's a bit like asking: "Which is better: a hammer or a rubber mallet?". They are both similar, but they are useful for somewhat different jobs. HTH :)

Sure it can...

You can whack a mole and play croquet with a rubber mallet, you can't with a hammer, so obviousl a RM is better. A Ferrari is still better than a 4x4... ;p regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Which is why I suggested a 4x4 Ferrari earlier. ;) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Welcome to CP, Erin. :) You're one of the few women to grace this site with their presence. You can spot the others by either their names (although Trollslayer [Elaine], is not so obvious until you see her name in her sig) or by their frequent use of girly language (e.g. "hon" or "awww cute") and the ever so feminine :rose: emoticon. ;) So, tell us a little bit about yourself. :) (Oh, and I must disagree with you...Ken Childs is not sexy. ;P)

not that "what is the fuel consumption of this thing?" would ever come into the equation when buying a Ferrari. when I get my Enzo one day I will send you the figures. ;) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.
