C++ vs Visual Basic Advantages?

[Parker.N]

Hi over there..

I was quite asking myself about the advantages that provides C++ and Visual Basic, I mean, is it any better to program with C++ or Visual Basic?

Heh, look around chief, there was a whole discussion on this a little bit ago.

I'll tell you this much: Seeing as VB was made in C++, C++ is a LOT faster... and making complex 3D games in VB is a joke.

VB is much more reliant on Windows, and its own runtime DLLs.

C can be more independent, and faster.

However the tradeoff is that C is more complicated than VB... so VB is actually better for "little" things, which is what it is used for.

VB's main uses include things like internal oompany database management utilities, but C is used for bigger commericial programs.
