visual C++ & Visaul Basic

[lllld_bllll]

hi,
Can a visual Basic programmer understand the visual C++ commands .
that's all.
also , I don't know what is the "debugging"
thanks for reply

If the Visual Basic programmer is proficient enough then yes he or she could probably understand (or be able to find out about) the Visual C++ 'commands'.

One might however want to brush up on one's english before embarking on such matters ...

[Cander]

knowing VB has nothing to do with it. Synatx is completely different.

Debugging means what it says: working the bugs out of your code.

[lllld_bllll]

I don't understand

I don't know who is right , plenderj says " If the Visual Basic programmer is proficient enough then yes he or she could probably understand (or be able to find out about) the Visual C++ 'commands'. " , and Cander says "knowing VB has nothing to do with it. Synatx is completely different. "
can u tell me who's telling right .

[Cander]

C syntax is different from VB. Knowing VB really will not help. Having knowlege of general programming perhaps.

[plenderj]

What I meant was more that if you are a very good VB programmer, then you've got a certain mindset, and so would be able to learn new things easier.
So if you looked at a piece of C code you'd probably be able to figure out by looking at the names of calls and variables what it does. And if not, then you could look up MSDN or the web, and should be able to piece it together from there

[lllld_bllll]

OK
What about C++ , does it have its codes or they're almost the same ?

I don't get it , my friend knows about C++ so he told me that learning VB is easy to him because they're almost the same .
sorry for the too much questions , but i want to be so sure .
thanks for reply.

thanks again .

A C++ programmer would find it easier to understand a VB program as C++ is more complex....a VB programmer would not as easily understand a C++ program tho', C programs would be easier to read

[Cander]

They really are very different. Its just a matter of learning the new syntax. So go find some good beggining tutorials that can get you started..

[Cander]

The real skill that makes moving from language to language easier is troubleshooting. Working it out. Knowing the syntax is easy. Putting it together is the hard part. The main reason going from C++ to VB is easier is becuase you learn these skills quickly becuase it is easier to make a mistake in C++.

[lllld_bllll]

you've discoureged me with this reply post "chrisa_uk " ,
but also i'm believed in what " plenderj " had said .
sorry, i respect your opinion "chrisa_uk " but it is refused .
thanks for reply

[lllld_bllll]

please give me a certain answer , HAVE I GOT TO CHANGE TO C++ OR CAN I STILL PROGRAMING USUNG VB ?
sorry for the caps , but i'm getting mad

[plenderj]

Will ya get a ****ing grip ya spa. Anyone can learn C++ if they spend time at it. What the **** are you asking all this for anyway ?

You're not making much sense ...

[Cander]

Now your answering a compeltely different question!!

HAVE I GOT TO CHANGE TO C++ OR CAN I STILL PROGRAMING USUNG VB ?

What does this have to do with your first question? You dont HAVE to do anything. Nothing is stopping you from using C++ or VB. I really dont know what you are rambling on about or what you are trying to understand.

[lllld_bllll]

if you are trying to say i'm stupid , thats fine but
can you do two things at the same time >
for example can u run and eat at the same time ?
hey , respect your selves.

[plenderj]

Look.
We don't know what you're trying to ask here.
You're talking about 2 completely different programming, and asking questions that just don't make sense!

[lllld_bllll]

Thanks anyway .
sorry for being rude.
maybe i was wrong about my questions but i'm sorry again.
please don't take it as a personal thing.
sorry agin and again .

[Cander]

No one called you stupid! Youy are the one that started into the being mad stuff and acted like we never answered your question, which we did, then acted as if you asked a different question.

[Cander]

Ok now that that is settled.

Why do you think you HAVE to switch to C++? Is there a specific reason?

[lllld_bllll]

I'm sorry , you're the experts and i'm just a rude beginner .
so sorry again.
lllld_bllll

[lllld_bllll]

I'm trying to improve my skills , so if my mind was clear filled with basic and important notices , that would be easier . that's what my father says .
my dream is to become a programmer like upeople in here in Vbfoums , you are the people that i want to be as skillful as .
maybe you think i'm mad but i'm only 15 so please excuse me .

[Cander]

Im not mad. All I can say is keeps studying, practicing and asking questions. Since you are already learning VB, stick with it for now. Later on down the road when you feel like you have learned VB really well, then maybe start learning C++.

Good Luck

VB, itself, probably wont help you much, but learing The Universal Programming Language will. For example, If...Then statements, While loops, For loops, variable declaration, variable scoping, functions, OO Techniques (Polymorphism, Inheritance), Classes, structures etc. These are all universal -- that is, the logic is constant for each language, but the syntax is different.

Once you are familiar with these concepts, you'll be able to learn any language, just as long as they provide you with the syntax.
