Gimme some support on C!

[zellgreg]

I used to work in Hex and F, but my friend told me that C is easier, so i started learning, but i'm still not very good at memorizing the keywords and other standard library commands, please give me some easy ways to accomplish this!

well, the best way i have ever found to learn a language, is to buy a book on the subject. This may cost initialy, but it does work much better for me. <br>
<br>
are you using C on PC/MaC/unix-linux?? or what??<br>

Try getting your hands on source code that other people have written and try to figure out what the program or function does. Typing in other people's source code also helps. It is time consuming and a pain sometimes, but it is a very visceral way to learn and gets those brain cells trained.

I find Borland C++ for DOS is the best way to start.<br>
<br>
Start with C++, avoid those print @#%!#%!#% things, use<br>
<br>
Cout &gt;&gt; and Cin &lt;&lt; , helps to structure your thinking<br>
<br>
You can get it cheap from second hand shop, in my uni, it is free for student.<br>

hi<br>
Most compilers actually have very good help files on their debuggers. You can look at all the source code of the stdio.h in the include directory that will be on you compiler. all the functions have maybe two or three values that have to be passed with them and you can just look them up really fast. hope it helped<br>

For $29.95 Mix Software, Dallas (800)333-0330 used to sell Workout C, a pretty decent tutorial on ANSI C. It comes with their Power C compiler and I think the debugger was included too. This stuff only runs on MS-DOS, but the book alone is worth the price, both for study and as a complete reference for ANSI C.

Try to make games in C . That's in my opinion is the best way. Learn some good books. That too , if it is a puzzle book in C.<br>
