Did you just ask to make it harder for yourself?
>> I know this is a pretty insignificant program but it was hard for me to write.
Are you just trying to make it intentionally complex so that people will be more likely to credit you?
>> well C is just so much more.... compatible and simpler. even though it's occasionally more complicated, and takes a bit more work (lack of OOP / libraries for certain functinos)
That is a really really bad argument.

yes, i want to learn the hard way. for practice.
i'm not trying to make myself look better, but it seems like you're trying to make me look worse.
and i like C more, ok? deal with it.
C++ isn't "more compatible".
It's a smaller language and therefore looks simpler to learn but being smaller just means you have to do more yourself that in C++ is covered by the standard library.
This means that in C++ you have a larger standard library to learn, in C you have to basically code your own standard library.
Every new language is hard to learn, especially if it looks superficially like one you know yet has a totally different paradigm at its core.
does anybody want to explain the more complicated way to do this?
just so i can know for other uses
(instead of using +=)
