Code: [Select]

PRINT "Hello, world!"
That's pretty organized to me.

Hello world in C#

Code: [Select]

using System;

namespace hello
{
   public class HelloWorld
   {
      public static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
      }
   }
}
  

It's really not that complex.

do you really need to stick it in a class?  I haven't ever used C#

C++ makes it easy:

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>

Using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!";
return 0;
}

yeah, but there is a reason basic is not used for professional applications and games
basic was meant to be simple but with limits, because it is a language for beginners

I still don't see why some languages have to be so complex. It's mostly just a large sum of variables right?

"If this is like that, then make this do this."

This is the definition of no life.

This is the definition of no life.

What qualifies as a "life" to you?

but the point is, they aren't

Maybe not to you. You're used to it.

That's BASIC. There's a reason you don't see things programmed in BASIC very much any more.

Yeah, a namespace can't have methods in C#. Only interfaces, enums, delegates, and of course classes, I believe.

Maybe not to you. You're used to it.

Well, it's not complex once you understand the basics of OOP, IE classes, methods, etc.

Surprise surprise when you send a kid to a special tutor they can learn to make stuffty jigsaw games.

They're not a loving child prodigy. Count me impressed when a kid that is 14 can whip out a game like Minecraft. (Though Minecraft is terribly written.)

Et Cetera?

As in, there's more to it than that.

Right.

Well, maybe when I have the time to spend twenty-four hours a day studying how to make the console greet the world.

Until then, I'll just appreciate the people that CAN program in these languages.

This. forget your iPhone apps, give me the next Linux, dammit.

Excuse me? Yes, there is more to Object Oriented Programming than just classes and methods. And what do you mean by

Get off your high-horse, you cunt. Learning BASIC doesn't make you any better than the rest of the programmers on this forum.

No, MP is right. It doesn't take a specific mind. You can learn basic C++ in 2 days if you really sit down and look at it.

Uh... Whoa.

I don't think you understand what I meant.

I, in no way meant to imply that I was better than any other programmer here. That's pretty forgetin' obvious. I barely even know BASIC.

Secondly, I was saying that I appreciate the people that can, which consists of you, Marcem, etc.

No, MP is right. It doesn't take a specific mind. You can learn basic C++ in 2 days if you really sit down and look at it.

I know that. I was just saying I didn't have the time to focus on it.
