Where can I learn Turbo c?

Hello everyone,

Long time ago I asked somebody to send me turbo c and Now I am looking for a toturial on the net, which it doesn't seems to be any. If anybody know of any good web site on the net to learn turbo c I really appreciate if you share it with me.

Thanks in Advance

Why don't you learn C++ instead??

Turbo C isn't really a language, it's a compiler, you need to learn the ANSI spec for C that existed a couple years ago... I'm sure there are some tutorials, but they'll be kinda hard to find.

Thanks Dennis. Sometimees I feel like my teacher is mentaly handycap. He want us to learn Turbo C!!! I have no idea why... Altough I am learning visual C++ at school but I have to learn Turbo too. Anyhow thanks to everybody for answering.

If you learn C or C++ then it's pretty easy to convert between them. Things to note when using both:

C++ -> C
All variables must be declared at the top of each function
No classes, use struct
Use malloc/free. Watch for alignment with this

C -> C++
Declare variables near first use
Use new/delete in preference

And the main thing to watch out for when using different compilers is structure packing. For example:

Code:

---

struct mystruct {
    char x;
    short y;
    long z;
}

---

You'd think that would take up 4+2+1=7 bytes. Not necessarily :) MSVC++ aligns structure elements on 4-byte boundaries, so it takes 12 bytes. Turbo C may do something different, such as aligning to 2-byte boundaries. This can cause a lot of problems when reading/writing files.
