C++, Objective C, and C#

[GMG Kurt]

My C is rusty but I believe something like this for Hello World

Code: [Select]

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
 Â   printf("hello, world\\n");
 Â   return 0;
}

That'll work perfectly, but most C programmers return 1, to check their main exited correctly, and the only argument you want main to take is command-line arguments. Its implied that it taking void otherwise.

both C++, an Objective-C are built onto C, but C++ is made  by Bell labratories (same as C) and Objective-C was made by NeXtStep (which was aquiered by apple.) C++ is universal, and although obj-C isn't currently supported on pc there is a group that has found ways to compile an obj-C program for use on a windows machine (without emulation), they're only part done with it though.

I think this is it: http://cocoaheads.byu.edu/resources/cocotron

Yeah I've used Cocotron. It works, little slow and buggy but works.

Plus it's a huge migraine to set up.

[GMG Kurt]

I never tried it. Never got that far in development of an obj-C application worth that.

Hey this post saind there was a new post, but there wasn't weird.  
But I did re-read it and it brought up a question I have. Can C run on pc, and if not then why can C++?

[Gan]

C can. Though it depends on the frameworks. Some frameworks support only mac, others support only PC. It's cause PC and Mac do some things differently.

You could theoretically make an application for both Mac and PC, though you'd need to find universal frameworks or build your own and you'd need to compile your application in a way that'd run on both machines or compiler it twice, once for mac and other for pc.

[GMG Kurt]

ah i see like the #ifdef statement. But ho do i know what frameworks are mac only, and such? And does Xcode contain the windows frameworks?

SO are C++ frameworks all universal frameworks?

[Gan]

I'm not sure about the frameworks working on mac and pc, but I do know that Xcode does not contain windows frameworks. I might contain frameworks that are compatible with windows though.

[GMG Kurt]

cool, I don't think I'll use anything but Gm for computer game programming though, C++ for nD, and obj-C for iPhone. and C for operating systems, UNIX commands, and the like I would love to do

[Connors]

It does that to me when I haven't logged in for a while...

[Gan]

Hopefully that should be fixed now that the forums are updated.

[GMG Kurt]

how feasible is a translator C++ to Obj-C?

[Gan]

It would definitely be possible I suppose.
