Start learning about arrays, and pointers, and const, and suddenly C++ stops looking so sexy.

So learn about std::vector, iterators and generic algorithms?

Are you out of your mind? Arrays, pointers and const are big reasons why C++ is sexy.
My best code is written with the delete key.
hmm... probably because it hurts the first time. But I guess you mean because they look cool
Good thing though is I'm moving on. Finished these chapters on pointers, arrays and c-style strings. I guess I'm a programmer now

Not really, I mean that they give you a surprising amount of low level power for a supposedly high level language.

Real programmers probably work, write books, and post on newsgroups or anonymous boards. English wins as the world's most painful subject, however.
The sexiest code ever.
Code:char* s ; printf( "%s", s );

That's when C++ stops looking sexy. LOL. All we are we want is C with classesSo learn about std::vector, iterators and generic algorithms?

Code:++i -= (i-- += --i) + (i++ - ++i) - i; // <-- this is cool C++

I just love the curves on those references.
And that vector can't be real...I can't wait to push onto the back of it.
Actually Doesn't Cobol Win As It Is Typed In All Caps As It Is Cruise Control For Cool??
Code:--_ -= (_-- -= --_) - (_-- - --_) - _; // <-- this is even cooler C++/Morse code

Except that both "cool" C++ pieces yield undefined results.

Nah, we'll just rewrite the Standard. hmm... or maybe _ is an object of some class type where all the overloaded operators are no-ops.Except that both "cool" C++ pieces yield undefined results.

const alone makes it the sexiest language alive.Arrays, pointers and const are big reasons why C++ is sexy
Writing C# code at the moment I would soooo kill for a single preprocessor macro. It's unbelivable that a programming language has no way to automate code generation. Ever typed code out for 73 Accessor/Properties encapsulating 73 private variables ? Did I mention I need a preprocessor ? Badly ? Like RIGHT NOW ?

When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
