C++: A Cruel Joke?
« on: January 22, 2008, 01:02:53 PM »
I was searching around for some of the trivial, academic questions often asked about C++ during interviews and came across this.  Made me laugh.

Classic!
I remember taking a C++ class when it was starting t oget popular back in teh 80's.  My instructor inevitebly taught us ANSI C instead.

Meh, whenever I write something I do it on c++, but I rarely use stuff like classes other than the string class. One thing I really love are the vector templates though, makes coding a lot easier.

Apoc,

I started with assembler and machine language on a 6502 and z80 cpu's. Then my first advanced language was UCSD PASCAL.
Way back then I had all of the instruction codes for both procs commited to memory ( I think there was less than 60 at the time)
