I Dont like the way C handels strings,though,Basic spoils the crap out of you with its strings....They were nice and safe and fun and,well,NOTHING like C strings...C strings seem dangerous...I probly cant count the ways to crash my box with C strings.... I have heard good things about C++ and strings.Is it all true? I have been putting off learning C++ cause i am having so much fun with C...and i dont know how cool it is to switch... I also dont know how good Djgpp is for C++....IS it? SO here is my questions. 1.) C++,Rocks or sucks? 2.) C++,Strings are fun and safe(er)? 3.) Djgpp and C++ make good friends. -- |"""""<`.THE PRINCE ,'>"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""| | `.`/""""""\,',' my sig is too big, | |SEE HIS ( / \ \' SEE HIS but its really cool. | | FACE \/<> <>\/ SMILE | | / W \ Visit my ascii art site: | | ,'\_|||||_/`. http://www.gtcom.net/~krogg/ascii/ | | ,',' ||| `.`. krogg DOT no DOT to DOT spam AT gtcom DOT net | |____<,' TIME TO DIE `.>____Remove no.to.spam to reply____|
