Yes whatever.....one thing I'd like to clarify is that principles NEVER change however moderen you may become.....The principles of "sequencing instructions" on the punched cards laid down by Hon. Lady Ada Lovelace <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace> are the very same which are still in vogue for creating Algorithms, however we've now shifted from the use of punched cards....this is what's happening...same underlying principles; many-faceted technologies.
Apart from that, u remembr the Y2K horror<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y2K>...it happend because the programmers didn't expect their programmes to be still in use after 1 or 2 decades therefore they set the dates with only the last two digits (which cost them fairly high! just read on)...
Actually programmers overlooked the importance of the purpose of their programmes and only considered the speedy innovations in this field. They, inadvertently, forgot that the innovations may serve the purpose but never overtake its importance entirely. And sorrily, that's what you are doing.
Turbo C might not be very compatible with its brother compilers, but it still offers the easy learning of founding programming skills. You know after learning C++ on the same compiler, we'd be expert enough to start working on JAVA which is our next course....
Good Day!
