    Since you already know C I believe it would be awkward to try to switch to C++ in order to make new software( meaning right now ). Use what you know, and after you learned C++ use it. I wouldn't delay my project for a year or more because I wanted to create it in another language( or here, in another programming paradigm )!

    thanks for your reply Mr. GReaper. so it's necessary to learn c++ isn't right. you told me you can't wait for a year to finished your project. did you had any idea to use another software apart from c, c++. as well as i learn c++ little bit. but am not sure i can't fully pledged into c++ programing knowledge. so can i go with c if just i need your idea.

    thank you sir.

    > one is new antivirus software another one is search engine.
    Do you have some interesting new insight into either of these domains?
    Both have plenty of alternative to choose from at the moment.

    Given that both applications typically take many years of effort from whole teams of programmers to reach some kind of production quality (that people would pay money for), what are you realistically aiming at as a sole developer in a single year?

    If you can establish a Proof of Concept for your novel idea, then I don't think it really matters what language you write it in (so use the one you know).
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    i had some other idea too. but i don't know how is it going to work.

    idea is that mingle all the platforms in software. ex(social security id-banking-passport-travel detail-medical detail-house hold billing information) everything in one platform. for example in airport want's to check the person detail just with the primary key we can find the whole biography of the individual person.

    don't laugh at this idea. am new to establishment Mr.salem.

    thank you

    What are you trying to do? So far, you've suggested an anti-virus, a search engine, and a database logging thing. I don't see the relevance of any of these, and it seems like you're just spewing random ideas.

    Are you looking for something to work on?

    That is a major violation of trust and privacy laws in many places.

    If you posted such a bit of software in such places with intent that the individuals responsible for booking your flight could explore social security number and how much money was in the bank you'd be up for breaking several laws.

    What is a "100% valid project"? And why do you "have" to do it? I think we'd all benefit from a bit of explanation as to what you're trying to do and why you're trying to do it.

    yes memcpy
    Awww... no "mr. memcpy"?

    You are right about 1 thing, you are "confused". You say you are a graduate and then you say its for a college project?

    And ill give you a heads up. The thing you "learnt" wasnt C. I can bet you did your stuff in TurboC.
