Hi guy..
im a newbies in c++ and workin on a sch. pro. which i need to connect a plc to a network and check his data status using tcp/ip.
I decided to worry abt that later.. but just setup a simple sort of server n client pro. that i can sent a msg using tcp/ip to another com.
But i been like lookin though book n sites.. and i very confuse abt what to do..
So can anyone give me a hint on how to start doind this..
like what i must include in my header.. then what to initialize.
i have no idea..
sorry abt that. cos i suck in programmin

I blieve thats not right (first ???) project for you... Firstly learning C++ and some basics about socket programming...
It exists many articels with examples on codeproject which make the first steps much easier... 
|
|
|
|
|
I find this site a great resource and the forum help on tricky projects extremely good but...
There's no shortcut to learning C++. I suggest buying a few books and get reading

Ok... My comment was in front of Socket Programming and not at learning c++...
There are many other pages on www which do this... But, In my opinion it's always a better choice to buy some books (in the mother language) to learn the basics...

I had a question about the two programming + I am some what new to the subject so bear with me... I have read multiple tutorials on programming in C++ and in Python, but I was always notice that something is different...
My first question is for Python... Whenever I look at different tutorials I notice this:
#! /usr/local/bin/python or this #! /usr/bin/python before your program starts... I was wondering though why some tutorials do not incorperate that in their tutorial/programs... I was actually wondering why you would, because I can run things just fine without putting that before my code in Python. I don't get any errors also. Is that only if you are running a linux system and you have to do that?
My second question is about C++... I have also noticed that in different tutorials they show all types of different ways to start out their programs. For example one way is
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include<br />
<br />
int main ()<br />
<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
#include<br />
#include<br />
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])<br />
{
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list goes on and on... I am just so confused. Is there a right way to right a C++ program? Are they all right ways? What does it all mean?
Thanks for any help,
Raistlin

You are definitely new to the language. As such I'm sure this is not your only set of questions and as you've said the list goes on. This is a really good book to get started:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201485184/002-4765200-8896040?v=glance[^]
It gives a very compact overview of C++ and it does so in a pretty short text. It might work for you and maybe not.
As far as your questions go:
Google for overloading functions in C++ and the other is just the path in a *nix (Linux/Unix/Etc) environment to where python is installed. In most cases it will be in either /usr/local/bin/python or /usr/bin/python you can also set your system path to contain the absolute path to it as well. In windows it's working because you most likely have the path in your environment variables and the python installer probably did this for you.
What environment are you coding in?
At this point are you just trying to learn the language or is there a problem you are trying to solve using C++?
Do you have other programming experience that members here can use to explain things to as a comparison? If you've worked in Java or VB 6 then some things can be explained like, "In VB you did this to ..." and "In C++ you can do the same thing by ..."

That is the bad thing, because I am not really new to all of this. I have two or three books on C++ and 1 book on java. I have also looked at numerous tutorials on the internet. I have spent many of hours looking at this monitor and at tutorials. Things just are not clicking, so to speak...
Those were some of the two things that baffled me the most though. I know that #include <iostream.h> or #include<stdio.h> are calling to different libraries, but if their different libraries why would you call them down... I am thinking now that there is a way to view these libraries or not? The first two parts just are not clicking as in the #include part and int main() or the other one. I mean I have wrote programs in C++ like just aa simple one for a card name called "Clabber" that adds up all of your non trumps cards and a few other things...
For Python I am pretty much starting, so right now Im in the process of learning it. I thought buying a book and trying to learn JAVA would be the answer to figuring out C++, but it really hasn't. Now as I look at Python it lookd rather easy to do. I am not too familiar with Visual Basic 6, because I haven't messed with it much... Other than that though, that is where I am at to programming. I know some of the basics I think...

If you are using Visual C++ go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\ and somewhere in there is C++ directory and in there is an includes directory that has bajillions of include files. Don't mess with them at all but you can at least see them.
#include in the most simple form is just a way of telling the compiler that "IN ADDITION" to the code in these project files you are going to need to include these other files to run correctly. The includes themselves give you access to functions that are contained in the included libraries.
It sounds to me like you are in the *very* early stages of learning to cut code and I think taking on C++ is the BEST way to go. The confusion you describe is very common and happened to all of us at one point in time or another. Just remind yourself that they do call it Computer Science, it *is* an engineering discipline and many people go to school for 4+ years to learn it. You are taking it on all by yourself and it's going to be tough at first to figure out.
I won't bother you with the details but main() can be overloaded what this means is that one function name can have many arguments and the arguments determine which function gets called not the name itself. This is so far over your head right now though (and that's perfectly okay) that I wouldn't try to understand it. It's part of 3 main ideas though called Object Oriented. Those 3 ideas are Polymorphism, Inheritance and Encapsulation.
Let me see if someone here has written a decent article that can unwrap this nastiness for you. Gimme a few minutes and I'll see what I can find.
I cannot say this enough though. What you are feeling is totally normal for a lot of people. BEWILDERMENT is okay. Just don't give up. It might take several months but *SUDDENLY* you will get it and I'm not kidding. It will just flip one day in your head and you'll think SWEET!!! I finally get it. It takes time and it this is normal.

Aww man thanks. I didn't even know that area was there! Now, is there a way to understand any of this code in this stdio.h or istream.h? This looks like there is quiet a bit to all of this. Thanks for informaing me of that directory, that explains quiete a bit like where all those #include files are at!
Isn't Object oriented stuff also is JAVA. It has three levels below it like what you said. One code that pretty much defines the class of the object. Another one to test the object and the last one defines the objects variables and methods... For example this diagram:
SHAPES
l l l
SQUARE CIRCLE TRIANGLES
()rotate "" ""
()playsound "" ""
One main class that defines all classes in your project. Three subclass so to speak and your tests or what they are going to do...Is this what your talking about?

You are kind of talking about several things. You don't by chance have a book by Herbert Schildt called The C/C++ Complete Reference do you? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0072226803/002-4765200-8896040?v=glance[^]
This book gives perhaps the most comprehensive view of the C/C++ language I've ever come across. It's a big read but if you go all the way through it you will get good foundations in C and C++ and he covers Inheritance, Polymorphism and Encapsulation really well. He also takes you through good examples of each. The book is in it's 4th edition and is one of the most recognized books on C++ out there. It's a great book especially for beginners. I highly recommend it.
What you have described above is not quite correct. The programming model you describe Define, Test, Method doesn't exist. It sounds kind of scary. Every object you code will do what you describe above except for testing that's your job.
Read this for a basic idea of how squares, triangles and circles would relate to shapes http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/l/aa120502a.htm[^]
Think of it more like:
A werewolf "is a" wolf, a wolf "is a" canine a canine "mammal" a mammal "is a" animal an animal "is a" kingdom.
So a werewolf can do everything that a wolf does but a bit more. A wolf does everything a canine does but it does not beg like a dog nor does it kill Londoners like a werewolf. A canine is a mammal in that it breathes air, gives birth to live young, so does a wolf, so does a werewolf. A mammal does not live in water. An animal eats, sleeps, multiplies and is part of a kingdom an animal only eats, sleeps and multiplies. It does not give birth to live young because not all animals do.
As you move up the chain of inheritance from Kingdom to Werewolf each subsequent "is a" gets everything from it's base and can add to it. So werewolf gets everything that a wolf gets from canine and canine gets from mammal etc... You can implement kill() in canine because canine's kill to eat, so do wolfs and so do werewolfs. You cannot implement mutate() in canine because only werewolves mutate. Does this make sense?
Objects should be well defined objects that inherit base functionallity from other objects. Car would inherit everything in vehicle. Car.Drive() Car.Stop() Car.Go() if F1RaceCar inherits car it automatically can .Drive, .Stop and .Go without writing a line of code. F1RaceCar gets all that from Car. However F1RaceCar can add F1.Sponsor() F1.PitStop F1.PitCrewMember() but car does not need these thing and neither does vehicle.
You compose base functionallity and extend that functionallity using well define objects that build logically on top of their base. So what you get is.
#include canine
class werewolf()
You don't need to include "mammal" or "animal" because canine gives all of those to werewolf by design.
This is about as far as I'm willing to go in this because guys like Schildt do a better job. Get the book and read it 1 page at a time. Trust me, you really need to. Either that or get the book that Christian recommended. Just pick one. Go all the way through it several times. Don't jump from one book to the next. Pick one and stick it out. You'll be glad you did.

I didn't see anything in the tutorials that was a good fit. Christian is an MVP for Microsoft C++ and that means he's been helping people for a long time. He might have some good advice at this point because what I'm about to tell you taps out mine. Learning this stuff is a bit like learning to ride a bike. You have to ride a lot and crash a lot before you internalize what it takes to ride a bike and then you'll never forget it.
My advice at this point. Go back to the books you have bought on C++ and go over them. Write all the examples and step through the programs. Read, re-read then read again the descriptions of the concepts involved. Relevant words to your questions right now are:
Inheritance - overloading
Things I think you should really focus on learning are the basics.
1. First learn and memorize (go over it until you can vomit it) the basic data types like int and char.
2. Then learn looping. for, while, do, etc...
3. Then learn how classes are written. This will cover function overloading, constructors, destructors and other key ideas.
If you get this far you are a long ways toward being really good. But to get this far you have lots of hours of struggling ahead of you.
Christian, do you have other ideas or suggestions? I only jumped in here because I ran this guy out of the lounge. You->MVP me C++ developer but not a teacher. I'll defer to your experience at this point.

That's just to indicate to the shell as to where the python interpreter is present. I guess it's in your PATH environment variable, so you don't need that line of code.

There are only two ways main can be written and you've listed both of them. The first one is used when you don't bother about command line arguments, the second one when you have to use them.
What other way did you find?

Well, the other way was this :
#include <iostream><br />
<br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n";<br />
cin.get();<br />
}
Yes it is the same way , but it has the "using namespace std;"... What does that represent? The other way doesn't have it... Just a little bit confused as you can see...

All that stuff you're worried about are used when needed. Don't worry about them until you need them. using namespace:std will not change anything unless you're using someting in std. Don't worry about it until you know what that means.

So long as main returns int and either takes these arguments, or takes none, it's right.
Raistlfiren wrote:
Are they all right ways?
Yes.
Raistlfiren wrote:
What does it all mean?
#include means to include an external file, and #include < > means to include a library file, not one in your project. For example, iostream is the streaming classes, string is the string classes. Note these files do not have .h after then, iostream.h is wrong.
The arguments in the second case are the number of arguments and the arguments passed on the command line, like when you type myProgram.exe /?, /? is the one argument, which is passed in.
namespaces are used to hide parts of the program from each other, namespace std is where the standard library sits. using namespace std makes all those things globally visible, otherwise you'd need to put using std::string, etc, for each class in std you want to use, or use std::string where-ever you used it in code.
I suggest you buy a book called 'Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours', I found that book very good when I was at your level of understanding. And obviously, keep asking those questions when you get stuck.
Why Python ?

So wait wouldn't this be right though: #include <iostream.h>? Sorry, for the wait, but I am trying to comprehend the second sentence :
Christian Graus wrote:

I don't quiet understand this right here... So are string classes the same as this : big = dog... String classes define words, like x = 8. So string classes are all of the classes that define words like if I were to say "cout << big" it would then say dog in the displayed text? Those are string classes?
Then, the file you type in command prompt is what the arguements define?
So where is this standard library at that defines namespace std? Then use std::string to define a library that is in the namespace library?

A lot of those programs are ran by command prompt so they don't cost anything... I was looking at python though because it is multi platformed and is rather easy. Plus I was getting so annoyed at JAVA and C++, because I wasn't understanding it, that I was fed up with it. I was also loosing interest fast, so Python and perl kept me going for a little bit. Looking up good resources is rather hard sometimes...

My first thought is that you seem to be trying to learn too much at once. Stick with one language and get some confidence with that first.
But if you really do want to tackle C++ then this online tutorial looks quite good.
http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/l/blcplustut.htm

The pages are displaying slightly weird at the moment though. It explains each element in a step-by-step manner.

The C++ string class (a.k.a. std::string) is used to store and manipulate character strings. Yes, if you have defined:
string big = "dog";
then cout << big; will output dog .
The namespace std isn't defined in any library, it's defined in the standard C++ header files. If you want to define a new namespace for your code, you wrap the function, class and variable definitions in a namespace block:
namespace library {
class Foo;
void function1(const std::string&);
}
Now Foo and function1() are in namespace library, and you refer to them as library::Foo and library::function1().

|

So if I were wanting to make a big math program for a calulator for my program, the namespace library allows me to define it and store my own library as my own? so if I were to make another program that required that calculator make up I could just call that library back to play??

<i>So wait wouldn't this be right though: #include ?</i>
If you check 'Do not treat <'s as HTML tags', then I can see your includes. I've looked at the page source, and you're asking if #include <iostream.h> is right. No, it's not. The header is there, and will work, but it's not valid C++, it predates the C++ standard. If your book says to use it, burn the book and buy a decent one. You should #include <iostream>, which means you need to put using std::cout;, etc. as it places those things in namespace std.
Raistlfiren wrote:

YEs, as someone else explained, if you #include <string>, then you can do this
string big = "dog";
cout << big;
A string class gives you a lot more than a container, you can search in the string, and do operations on it, and it handles the memory allocations for you.
Raistlfiren wrote:

What do you mean ?
Raistlfiren wrote:

It's in a subdirectory of your compiler, and your compiler is set up to look there for files, that's what the #include <> means, to look in library directories, #include "string" would look in the local directory first.
Raistlfiren wrote:
Then use std::string to define a library that is in the namespace library?
using std::string tells the compiler that when you type string in the global namespace, to use the one in std. You also need to #include it, so it knows about it.
Raistlfiren wrote:

I'd suggest you don't. Stick with one, until you know it. And don't worry that you don't know it all, start in a corner and learn one bit, then move on from there. Write some simple programs ( for example, I wrote a command line calculator early on ), and treat them as exercises that will expand your knowledge.

If I only knew what I mean!  I think you guys have answered a lot of my questions already, and I will check out those tutorials that you have sent me. The only problem is that I want ot know a lot of each language and in a short period of time. I have different reasons to learn each programming language... Anyway, like I said your help was muchly appreciated!
Thanks,

You're better off looking for deep understanding than broad. Understand the thing you're looking at for now really well, instead of trying to have a bit of an understanding over a broad range in the short term.
Good luck !!
