..as you know.. I am the "question" man.
so.. question time!!
1) why did Chili bother with "putchar", "getchar" when normal people use "cin" "cout" for everything nowadays? Was it to explain and teach pointers and practice some progr. in the mean time, or was for another reason? this one is silly but very important to me now as I am starting an app. in console. Is "cin" "cout" stuff that you guys would use or.. ?
2) on C++.com one guy said:

Also if your looking to have it in a full GUI I can also recommend using QT4 to do it. QT Creator has a drag and drop design tool that you can use when you are just starting out with GUI's and you can also program in C++ for the stuff that needs more detail then the drag and drop can provide.
(.."from scratch.." ahah ..anyway..) would you guys advise me to use these programs (for when I want to train with the console and for things where graphics does not matter) ?thank you very much mate.
Actually, I have been working on "ChiliTomatoNoodle" tutorials on YouTube (you should check them out, they are amazing) and therefore I am working with a framework and I am "used" to make things from scratch
3) I bought an amazing book (with an amazing price ) that is meant to be a guide to C++ written by the implementer of C++.
http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/
I am not even half way through it but a few things surprise me:
(a) vectors are explained before arrays and "arrays" themselves are barely touched upon throughout the whole book.. wtfbro?
(b) STRINGS are presented as a TYPE from the start, like an INT. He doesn't go through CHARs to build arrays and call them strings.. wtfbro?
(c) WHERE ARE POINTERS?? no seriously.. apparently he's been extremely racist to them for some reason unless there are other ways of programming that he sticks to,, and they are very different from the way Chili taught me. In that case I prefer to sell the book and buy a new one rather than making my life more painful and confusing only because I already wasted the money
that's all for today,
have a nice week
and thank you so much for any help/comment/thought/answer from you
