Dev-C++ works, but Visual C++ do not ???

Not all C++ programs has it anyway and people been doing fine with-out it to date, I'm sure. As I said, there is nothing like going down to the pits. You quickly learn how to build it back up to the point you need while learning some new tricks along the way. That's when you can say "I know why that happen" and the debugger never had a clue. "ERROR: Unknown." That is not a crime. It can be big FUN, but don't expect no help from the OS or IDE. They might be ......... heehee

My point is that you don't. You will never learn everything, not even after 100 years.
That is IntelliSense and tooltips are great. Need to get to a specific part of the code that you've forgotten where it is? No problem. Forgotten what parameters a function takes? No problem. Don't remember the order of the parameters? No problem.

Elysia, you are one tough cookie. I'll will not be giving up on IntelliSense or tooltips no time soon and will be learning how to use it. This place has a world of information, and it's so active, but cool and calm. I pick up a lot in only 36 hours. No more naps, I'll sleep well tomorrow.

Dude..your code is all over the place.
