Thread: I'm kinda new to C++

Hi everyone,

I'm a little new to C++, but I do know some useful things. I already know quite a bit about it, but there are some things giving me troubles.

For one thing, I'm not quite sure what the difference between long unsigned ints, and short signed ints is at all. It confuses me since there're four types of intengers, and I'm not quite sure what the difference is between them all.

Secondly, when I put in a prototype for my function, type in some parameters, and then branch off to that particular function, it never works for some reason. I dont understand the need for function prototypes and parameters.
