Have we got any java programmers or experts on CF? im taking java in uni and i have programmed before (pascal,vb 6, c++) so i know the common lingo... i.e. i know what data types are etc i think the only thing i need to do is is learn the syntax right?

The Syntax is very very similar to C#,

Thats all I can tell you soz

 

If you know C++ then you will find Java easy. The main problem derives from the fact that it is *so* similar in places that the differences can be confusing!

Harry.

 

so does that mean you guys are offering help?

 

If you are good at C++ you don't need help! <giggle>

I'm no expert in Java - and my knowledge of the standard libraries is out-of-date as I tend not to use it much in day-to-day stuff.

My section is supposed to use it to the exclusion of all other languages, but my boss knows my opinion of that descision!

Harry.

 

I'm going to be controversial here, and suggest that if you didn't use the OO in C++ you were really programing in a version of C!

Harry.

 

IMHO this would be a total waste of the language!

Er - they do. Take this code:

Code:

struct sometype_t a;
struct sometype_t b;
/* Now put something in a */
b = a;
/* b now contains a copy of a */

I have used that capability in C for years.

These are trivial differences. A similar trivial difference would be the use of references.

Words fail me. For a respectable uni to hand out stuff like that! About the only excuse I can think of is that it was nearly 10 years ago!

I remember that one from some time back! Like all good humour there are grains of truth in it!

Harry.

 

Having poked about a bit on that Bath Uni site I realize that this wasn't a programing course per-se, but an adjunct to another course. So I suppose it can be excused a bit!

And it used a complier that was famously poor at C++!

Harry.

 

I love when the minds of CF Members come together

 

Me too, very refreshing, even if I can't add a single informative word to the thread
