C++ to C?

It was my 26th yesterday! yay! Anyway, I got given a book on C programing from my uncle and at the end of the book it says this:

Code:

---

Now you have finished this book, learn more about C. It is the most powerful and muti-used language avalible.

---

I am not really going to use the book as I have been learning C++ for two years now anyway. What do you think of the statement? If anything i think C++ is most efficent language to date, Not C.

On another note, looking at two seperate samplesm you cab see why C++ is better!

code in C:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("Hello World");

return;
}

---

I think doing the same statement in C++ looks better anyway. I wonder why the book example shown above only uses return and not return 0?

1) congrats
2) most books say something similar about the language they teach. I've seen something like that in a VB book once (yes, I once got one from an employer who wanted me to learn it, after reading the book I told them what to do with it)
3) define "efficient". For some definitions of efficient you may be right, for some others certainly not.
4) this saves 2 keystrokes, much more efficient than typing "return 0;"

In some cases, working with c is a better option than c++.
usually in systems level programming it's a c and assembler mix.
for user space programs, c++ is more commonly used, the extra features make c++ more usefull here.

in a kernel, or basic system tool, the fact that c doesn't have all the features of c++ makes it the better language.

Stricly speaking, you could say that all Turing-complete languages are equally powerful. That includes even languages like Brain.........

Practically, though, that's absurd. In reality, C and C++ are about equally powerful - but it's usually less work with C++ to achieve the same, with better reliability and fewer chances for errors.

I don't pretent to be a genius in programming, but I prefer C++ ... also your profile says your birthday is "September 4, 1980" ... is today the fifth of september?? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I think this is the most powerful language: Best Language Ever!

as a review: An eight instruction computer language
haha
