    What's so hard about it? ;)

    And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
    "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

    And I smiled and was happy
    And it came worse.

    Go look in the Quick Answers section of CP... you'll see how many people can't seem to figure this out... :laugh:

      It involves abstract thinking which is not for everybody. Same thing with the pointers and the multiple inheritance.

        I have just been looking at a new cpu the AMD Bulldozer range and the flagship cpu is a 8 core 3.8Ghz, yet in a comparison with an i7 2600k quad core the i7 performs better. Can someone please explain to me how this is possible to me reading that just does not make sense!

        Processor Architechure is also very important with frequency speed and number of cores. i.e. Intel's Nehalem Processor has integrated front bus and northbridge while AMD still has these components outside.

          Sure, but I would just be citing stuff from Agner Fog's Microarchitecture manual[^]

            I don't use C++ anymore, but most people don't really need to know what they are since they're not doing very complicated programming. Most programming, at least what I've come across, is very simple and mundane compared to what is possible. How much are you going to use pointers as a percent of the programming needed in a website, etc. You're going to write a lot more html than anything else. I'm not saying you shouldn't, just that most don't since its not used as much as other programming. I'd like to see more programmers understand it, but it's not likely. I've heard a lot of theory learning downers and concept downers here.

              C++ is still widely used. This site is mostly enterprise desktop development and web development oriented and is Microsoft centric, areas where C++ stepped out on behalf of more efficient for those tasks languages. But this is relatively small part of the programming world; everything else is still mostly C++. Not my one vote BTW, although I think you’re wrong.

                HTML isn't programming.

                  I wouldn't worry about processor speed any more unlessing you are realling doing CPU intensive applications + parallelism. For day to day stuff it really doesn't matter.

                    If I were to use C++ in a website (not managed C++, the real deal), I would probably use quite a few classes and quite freely use a pointer for every instance I need. This is, of course, a strange scenario as I don't see any reason to do a website in traditional C++. But after having suffered through a Java project and having been stuck with a real cargo cult code monkey squad (with a promise to repeat that experience a few more times), I am actually looking for an opportunity to get out of here and do some real programming again. I have grown a bit tired of the cargo cultists and their grand rules and rituals to actually do very little in a complicated way. How fortunate that C++ seems to be 'in' again.

                      This link is in Italian, but in the bottom you have some compile time's comparison in VS2010 on different processors. http://www.tomshw.it/cont/articolo/recensione-amd-fx-8150-bulldozer-delude-la-strada-e-ancora-lunga-risultati-benchmark-produttivita/33899/17.html[^] Cheers!
