C++ and Torque Script

[Port]

Code: [Select]

int main(void)
{
     cout >> "4";
}
I haven't done C++ in a while, so above will probably just give you a syntax error.

From the absolutely nothing of C++ that I know, I think you'd just have to include stdio.

no I think it's another library for cout

Edit: Yep, for cout it's <iostream>
For printf(); it's stdio

Torque is a scripting language written in C++ so yeah they are going to be at least syntactically simililar

Also I wouldn't suggest Java, it's an ugly patchwork language with too many quirks to count.

Android, yo.

The syntax is more related to C# imo, but if you have a full knowledge of C++ you will be able to learn it pretty fast

I see.

You can also learn torquescript fast while not understanding c++ at all

They syntax isn't really that similar.  TorqueScript functions go something like

Code: [Select]

function doStuff(%cl,%arg1,%arg2)
{
     echo(2+2);
}and C++ is more like

Code: [Select]

int main(void)
{
     cout >> "4";
}

Yeah that's a syntax error.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using namespace STD;
    cout >> add(2,2);
    int i
    cin << i;
    return 0;
}
int add(int x, int y)
{
    int z = x+y;
    return z;
}

If you can learn one language you can learn them all. Though you probably can't master them. I really think it's about first learning how to go about learning a programming language.

 I am by no means experienced in any language but I have an ok understanding of java, and it made doing anything in torque a thousand times easier then the last time I attempted it. Also being alright at math makes programming a lot easier.

Yeah that's a syntax error.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using namespace STD;
    cout >> add(2,2);
    int i
    cin << i;
    return 0;
}
int add(int x, int y)
{
    int z = x+y;
    return z;
}


so is the code you posted. actually yours has more errors than his did lol.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using namespace STD; // error - it's std not STD
    cout >> add(2,2); // will error as add hasn't be declared / defined, also wrong operators
    int i // missing semicolon, error here as well
    cin << i; // wrong operators
    return 0;
}
int add(int x, int y)
{
    int z = x+y;
    return z;
}
error spew from msvc++:

Code: [Select]

pretty much this.

also in terms of math, as long as you passed Algebra and have a decent brain in your head it's not that difficult.

Who voted Java..?
I know Java and a tiny bit of torque, and the syntax is extremely different. 
C++ is much better to go along with torquescript rather than Java. 

Java is good for applications that you want to easily port to tons of OS's.  However, it is not good for making full blown games (as it is much slower than many other languages).

[Kaphonaits²]

java makes me angry.

[WALK2222]

java makes me angry.

Its nice because it isn't too hard to learn, and it can be run on any computer OS.  However, a downside is that its slow. 

[.:FancyPants:.]

so is the code you posted. actually yours has more errors than his did lol.

except he did declare add, it's a function just below main. the parameters are two integers too so i don't see a problem there. though i am pretty sure cout is << and cin is >> but i can never remember.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int add( int x, int y )
{
    return x + y;
}

int main()
{
    int i;

    cout << add( 2, 2 );
    cin >> i;
    return 0;
}
is how i would have done it, although recently i've been working more in C than C++.

But it has to be declared above main
