Beggining Programmer: Java or C++? - Page 2

TwitcH · 05-25-2006, 09:01 PM

I suggest keep your studying as a priority, programming is something that can be learnt in small parts like say, an hour a day.

Zelker · 05-25-2006, 09:22 PM

Wow.

Already confused.

Anyone know a simple way to explain classes and methods?

Tough thing about going from java to c++ would be grasping c++'s variable differences to java the whoel pointers and no pointers thing...

Anyone please answer my question?

...Please?

So I have been studying Java for about a day now, but now I heard of a funny programming language called C#.

So, this is my new question, C# or Java?

Which is easier, and which one can make better games?

I suggest you find one you like the look of, one that looks easy to read and stick at it. If you carry on changing your mind about which language to choose you'll never get one learnt and once you fully understand one language the rest are a piece of cake trust me.

I realize this is a fairly old post, but I decided that this question should be answered.

A class simply can be thought of as a job description.
A method is a discrete section of code that exists inside a class and performs a task or tasks for the class. The tasks are performed by the object and defined by the class. A method can have data passed into it and can return data if necessary.

But I'm not asking which one makes better games.

I am asking which one is easier.

I am only a mere 13 year old, and I haven't learned a lot of math, except a few variables, and no trigeometry. So I ask you, for a 13-year old, which one would be easier?

And the Pros and Cons of both of them please?

Thank you,

Hey we are almost same! im 13 and i just started programming a while ago. Accuatlly i have always have had math problems but im really trying to get better at it. I use C++ but im thinking about Java. Oh yea since you are 13 like me that time u wasted shouldnt be to much of a loss dont worry.
And one question, is Java free and where can I get it???

PS-if you go into C++ get Direct X9 it helps you import audio and GFX.

This is a Java forum with a very active userbase (well some of the users anyways, me included).

Besides that, you are welcome to add me to your msn (mark_schrijver@hotmail.com). I'll answer any question you might have, if able. Do remember though that I live in Europe, so for US people, the forum might be a better place to look for answers.
