    caps in c++

    hey all, i'm wondering why somethings need to be capitalized and others can't. i just spent an hour debugging only to find out its NULL and not null. i just read the opposite for eof. is there anything else? can they be catagorized in anyway?

    That was a decision made by Bjarne Stroustrup, C++ is case sensitive and you just have to learn what is capitalized and what isn't. Usually through trial and error.

    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Most HL languages are case-sensitive, aside from ones like BASIC... Which is case-sensitive as well, for variable names
