- 1-15 SlickEdit is my IDE of choice for C/C++
- 4-1 Too late! atomicthumbs is already learning C++
- 9-1 The first C++ program that atomicthumbs wrote asks "WHAT YOU SAY", and then, when you type it, says "YOU SAID:" and then what you wrote, unless it was a swear word, in which case it says "YOU SAYED A SWEAR D: !!!!"
- 2-25 I am going to invent my own indenting style and drive you people crazy
- 7-2 atomicthumbs is learning programming the right way this time: downloading the Eclipse C IDE, sitting down with his copy of K&R C, and digging in.

Best of luck, atomicthumbs!
Two comments:
1) Do you really double-up your line breaks like that? It looks a bit strange.
2) "if (LEARNING_C == 1)" is more verbose than necessary. "if (LEARNING_C)" will suffice. (C considers an expression to be true if it has any non-zero value.)
Thanks! :)
Two responses:
1) No, jyte does that to anything, even if it's inside a pre tag.
2) I'm only most of the way through the section on relational operators. :P
I can confirm from unpleasant experience that Jyte is pants at <pre>.
printeronfire: Why do you keep trying with C and C++? That's an incredibly bad way to learn fundamentals. Also, would it kill you to make an actual claim?
For the record, "21 days" books are pants at teaching anything about programming. You want an actual textbook.

... and K&R is perfect at what it is, thank you

Bulet goes in cartrije goes in wepon.Hello world code now always makes me think of the equivalent of:
printf("Paula is brillant");Some people think that Project Euler is a nice way to start learning a new programming language. I tend to agree. I've certainly found some of the Scala solutions interesting.
D'A: 1. I know fundamentals, but no programming languages. I'm weird that way.
2. It seems to be teaching me better than was happening with K&R. I guess I'll check it out again when I'm done with this one.
Slartibartfast: What?
Wyscan: Thanks for the links.
