I just wrote from a Danish magazine about Bjarne Stroustrup when
he invented C++.
He wrote:So as he say, there's a little joke implied in the name ;-)In C the name C++ means „Next, Successor, Add 1“,

We appreciate that you took the time to inform us of your discovery...
My best code is written with the delete key.
Prelude's just being rude and pretending like she already knew that...
This really is a prime piece of information, and I thank you for it!
... err wait ... where are those sarcasm tags we were talking about in the updates post?

I can't seem to find the joke though

The joke is that the postfix increment operator is used, so the result of the expression is actually C rather than C + 1. Haha! I kill me.

Ohhhhhh! I get it!!Originally Posted by The SharK
Gotcha. took me some time to reply. Had to grab my belly

HAHAHAHA!!! (Genuine amusement!!)

just copy what I have in my sig, and it'll make it all better.

speaking of which... let me see if I can find the code that broke under it...Originally Posted by twomers
Will get back to you on PM later on

You have me deeply confused
EDIT: Currently de-confused
Thanks Prelude for clearing that up !The joke is that the postfix increment operator is used, so the result of the expression is actually C rather than C + 1. Haha! I kill me.
I don't no much about the C language, so I thought
that it was "C++ language", and meant:
increment the variable "C".
Maybe by joke he meant that it was something to just smile at,
you don't really have to lay on the floor, and laughing at it... ;-)

Think I saw something on the C# board, about the name C# coming from the
same convention as this: C++++
is supposed to be represented by a '#'Code:++ ++
The name probably has nothing to do with that observation, but I was amused
at the time. Bit more interesting than the post that started this thread, but
not by much...
>>Maybe by joke he meant that it was something to just smile at
Yes, yes I think so too. Then forget about the semantics of the name and get
back to programming!
EDIT: Here's that link - was in the GD board actually

No No's:
fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();
Goodies:
Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference
My Gear:
OS - Windows XP
IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
I believe microsoft chose # because octothorpe is such a cool word.
Unfortunately, it's pronounced "C Sharp" not "C Octothorpe."Originally Posted by valis

It's called sharp because they lacked sharpness, when they thought of a name they couldn't represent with a standard keyboard.
