Classes...

This summer I am taking a computer class, it teaches VB and C. I was just wondering if C is the same coding as VC++. I am getting a copy of VC++, is the interface as easy as vb?

Thanks A Lot!

C++ is the object-oriented (OOP) version of C. C is a structured language, and structured languages have fallen largely out of favor nowadays because of their limitations (many). C++ is similar in many ways to C (because it was 'evolved' from C), but its OOP syntax makes it really quite different.

The VC++ IDE is similar to VB's, but if I were you I would worry more about how ridiculously over-syntaxed the C++ language is, than about how easy it is to use the VC++ IDE.
C/C++ both have a huge learning curve because of the nature of the language itself (pointers and all that extraneous **crap**).

IMHO both C/C++ are legacy languages who's practical time is limited. Unlike VB, though, neither are limited just to the Windows environment (although you have to 'port' applications written in either languages to other platforms). This is why Java is gaining in popularity -- you can write one application in Java and it will run (theoretically) on any system, be it Linux, Windows, or whatever.

Wow, such changes in a few hours! I went to see the matrix, I am back, and all the posts are centered, and they say how many views they have also. Applause to the vb-world staff...keep up the good work!
