C++ also has references , and you can forget about pointers for most cases.Although I guess it could be argued that Java references are watered down C++ pointers

If you mean you need to use pointers to keep track of things such as linked lists, then a pointer in C++ is exactly the same as reference in Java except Java only uses the "." syntax, and it doesn't allow you to distinguish between the pointee and pointer.Originally Posted by TastySauceCode
Heh, with a program as trivial and on such a small scale as 'Hello World', there isn't much difference granted.However, when things get more larger in scope and C++ introduces memory management, pointers* etc. than the added complexity becomes quite apparent. Obviously though Java pays for this 'advantage' with less performance.

If you mean you need to allocate a lot of things on the heap and manually delete them, think again. That's what smart pointers are for.
But C++ dose not, I can spell the words I need: and, for, while, do, #include iostream, ect
Where on this is my bad spelling going to affect it? Grammar really dose not matter unless your using cout, and even then I can type and spell good, I'll just need to type it up in world and proof read it many times, and yeah there will be mistakes, but its not like it's going to be harder for me to learn then someone who is an English majoir.
Well, I'd say knowing how to read english properly is more important than writing since you are going to be reading a lot of documentation (which is usually going to be in english).
And how did you come to the conslusion that I can't read very good? I can read and understand what I read.
I didn't, and I didn't say you can't read very good. I was just making a statement.
If you can read english fine, then don't worry. Continue learning C++.
