C++ Or C++.NET

**blindman858** · 06-16-2005

.net is merely an environment. It is managed coding. A lot of featurers have been automated for you, especially windows programming. The logic is the same for c++ and .net. Syntactically c++ and C++.net vary a bit here and there. For instance in .net coding you do not include iostream.

Code:

//C++
cout<<"Hello";

//C++.net

Console::WriteLine(S"Hello")

//C++

int n;
cout<<"Input N: "; cin>>n;
cout<<n;

//C++.net

int  n;
Console::Write(S"Input N: ") //Reads a string;
n=Int32::Parse(Console::ReadLine()); //Parse =string to int
Console::WriteLine(S"{0}", n.ToString() ); //Convert int to string {0} spacing

//C++
int a[10];
int b[2] [3];

//C++.net

//Manged code allows for the compiler to do garbage collection

Int32 a[] = new Int32 [10]; 
Int32 b[,] = new Int32[2,3];

These are just few of the basic differences. The real value of .net comes in windows programming.

Naaah. Btw, the above posts, talking about subsets and supersets mean nothing to the VB Programmer. >.< Give me a few weeks, and I'll know I guess

Nope. You probably won't encounter the terms "subset" or "superset" in any C++ book. They are mathematical terms which are sometimes used in everyday language.

If you have a group of things(called "a set" in mathematics) like this:

apple, banana, strawberry

then a smaller group of things:

apple, strawberry

which is completely contained in the first group is called a subset of the first group. A larger group of things like:

apple, banana, strawberry, orange, pear

which completely contains a smaller group is a superset of the smaller group. In other words, a subset is a portion of a group, and a superset is a group with some things added to it.
