Where to get C++ · DIGIT-ARC

S

My nephew who is in 9 th class requires C++ language to practice at home. Where can I get it for him. Is it dowloadable from some site or what? Please help.

u want C++ language ?? lolzz

ok u bring me english language i want to learn it !! hehe its also a language not something u can get it and give it

download an IDE - Integrated Development Environment

in an IDE u can type your C++ programs and compile them using the compiler integrated with it

google search C++ IDE !!

or use this Dev C++

Dev C++ is a very good IDE !!

just do a google search. Isn't it strange that his nphew who is in 9th class requires c++ such a high level language. Is it in school syllabus or just he is practising at home bcoz of his interest.

ICSE n CSBE both have C++ from 9th

Also , it Should be Low-Level instead of High-Level

if u meant C++ learning resources or C++ books then

then get it from here
*www.freeprogrammingresources.com/cppbooks.html

and
*www.computer-books.us/cpp.php

basically there are infinite resources to learn C++ on the net

just google properly with proper terms !

you may use Turbo C++ which is probably what he will b using in school anyway. It is availabe 4 free d/l and usage from here

Turbo C++

u could also d/l Visual C++ Express also a freeware
but it is better not 2 get kids hooked on 2 MS devp platform so early on in life

ya i agree with u

lets start teaching them Assembly Language. Te lowest level language

This might also help .

Ditch Turbo C++ use Relo !

u can compile TC programs using Borland's Latest Free compiler instead of the old TC which does not work fine under Windows Vista/XP/2000

and why would be that . They're giving a much much Better IDE for Free what more do u want .

indian education system yaar...... kabhi b kuch b padate hai......
i studied c++ in 11th ,12th (cbse) then again in 2nd sem in engg.....

^huh!?for me in my engg(now lost!) 3rd & 4th sem we got fortran77,pascal and C.

but the yr was 97-01

We are studying C++ for the first time in our study record. (BCA 3rd Sem.).

We studied PASCAL in 1st and 2nd Sem.

arey dude im into 3rd yr of engg ie 5th sem..... no other language done other than c n c++
java in this sem......
n wat they teach here in m.u is impossible to understand....

Then I must say that our (B.Sc. Computer Science - Pune University) syllabus is very nice.
We have C in First Year. C++ in second year & JAVA core & advance in Third Year as main languages !!!

I am in class 10 (CBSE Board) in ktm,Nepal............Due to the regular change in syllabus ... Few ncert books r yet to arrive here....

Buddy it has been 2 weks only......
How can we find out whether it is low or high level

No , i m in 9th and in my school they are teaching us with ancient book of Word 2000

i started learning C by myself now

9th mein word.....tats true yaar...... i also learned such things in 9th......
@shirish...... mumbai univ n pune univ syllabus r not tat diff...... i did c n c++in 1st yr.... n nw java in 3rd.... (engg)......
they r teachin us assembly lang now(masm) in 3rd yr
@max..... learnin by urself is d best option

N

And in my time, no Windows in our schools. All 12 years of my schooling I just saw MS DOS 6.22!

(1990-2002)

^^ wat r u sayin yaar....... windows was introduced long time ago....
wich scool u were in???

N

Our school goes by CBSE and till 2002, Windows was not required/part of the syllabus so our school's PC always remained on DOS. See the cost saving.

Then i recommend that you start out with C# or Java which are much much more logical n better n with them you can concentrate more on your programming skills rather than spending time with petty stuff(read string handling as arrays)

i wd say that kids interested in computers shd be taught languages like c,c++,java,c#,vb,php,sql etc in school itself.. Instead of useless stuff like evs,geography,history nd stuff..
My schooling (like many others) was a waste acc to me..

^^ NEVER !!!

u use that knowledge anyhow in your life. Those subjects never waste of time !!!

^^ those subjects r a waste of time.....where do u use history , geo,etc....bas apne baccho ko padane ke kaam aayega......
@pathiks..... ya dude...... i agree with u.....

+1 for patiks and shrish .
what i think is that the students should be taught subjects which they need practically need in future .

for example maths , the students must have more subjects in maths and science .
.like , the student may choose his path from std 1st only .!

the syllebus must be like this

1st basic computing/hardware
2nd input/output , logo
3rd Basic, DOS
4th Windows,internet,www, gaming
5th advanced hardware , networking , photoshop
6th HTML , VB
7th C,C++
8th ASP.net , java ,Oracle
9th Hacking, advance java (must have homework like , make distro in 5 days and show)

10th Chip level repairing , making commercial software , making OSes other than linux , developing games .

Survival of the fittest

So, u think INDIA must produce all IT students.
How could only IT mans live in world dear ??? We also need History / geography persons @!!!

Yeah all subjects are equally good, its a matter of liking that distorts ur perception.

Everything u ever learned pays off some day.
For what purpose will u use programming if u dont know the practical scenario for which u are making ur project/programs

for example ang GIS system needs an understanding of geography
Bioinformatics needs study of basic bio and other related tech.
Banking application needs knowledge of accountancy
prediction of future by any software depends upon the historical trends

and afterall learning all programming language dont make any sense since its like monotonous road u r walking on.
If u get to know C and C++ then u can expect to learn 90% other programming languages in less than a weeks learning curve.

that will be the most tuffest curriculum ever, and its not practical in approach.
Photoshop is like an art that can not be learned in 1 year, its a continuous learning.

So where the other fields go, are we making civilised citizen or just mechanical robots that can do just programming and all.

Then its better to deploy robots. That wont be the survial of fittest but the rage against the machine.

i agree with u d00d, v must be exposed to all d available branches, learn what it is that they have to offer and only then would we b in a position to make a decision about waht path we would choose in our life
learning about history gives us the ability to appreciate our present and serve as a reminder to us to avoid following the path taken by our predecessors which had caused their downfall

learning abut geography gives us the ability to appreciate our physcal surrounding and be in a better position to understand the diverse condition that exist on our planet

on lighter note a geologist [geography] will know where to mine 4 silicon/copper and a historian will tell him where not to repeat history

What would then happen to things like GIS/GPS, localisation, music softwares and such? Those preparing such softwares need to know as much as possible about the concerned field.

We should Follow US/Canadian system where u study everythin till 8th n then have one major other minor subjects from 9th , so that you can concentrate on what career you want as well as having a general idea of all other subjects

Yes buddy....

I completly agree with u..
This Sst is useless.....Studing History of India, Then Russia, Then Europe is useless ......................
Because I know After 2 yrs I wont remembver all this. dates ......

It' gud but not ........becaude half og the class hv still confusion in Html............

It seems lots of schools going are talkin in this thread, even i used to think that till 10th.

U all will realize when u go to college.

There is one famous phenomenon in OSS community, "Don't re-invent the wheel"
Just think, if you don't know, the Wheel is already invented, most probably u waste ur time in inventing wheel again....
HISTORY will tell you !!! History is not all about the kings and their Queens ;-)

It is also about their culture, their knowledge and their mistakes which you shouldn't repeat !!

If you only mugged history, then .....

Do you think that @ 9th you were clever enough to decide which way you should go ??
How many students you see around, who want to be engineer in early days and ended up with some bachelor degree ???

Well all my friends had decided till 9th What stream they wanted to go into n many had even started JEE Coaching from 9th onwards .

9th Std kids are mature enuf(according to me) to decide what vocation they want to pursue .

^^ absolutely... and any1 doing engg ll tell u what a waste the current syllabus is.. atleast in MU..

i completely disagree wit u

im doin my engg but was totally enamoured by what i learnt in my history and geography classes

so after 10th i decided to drop bio and instead took up geography [as i always wanted 2 study engg] learnt d most amazing stuff there was

so now altho my curriculam does not require me 2 keep myself updated on issues related 2 history and geography i still read books pertaining to those 2 subjects [currently reading Freedom @ midnight along with d Design data book

]

ya but i do admit dat how ur teacher teach u the subject does make a huge difference in the future as to how you percieves a subject
i was fortunate to have been taught by teachers whose knowledge and enthusiasm was extremely infectious and studying these subjuects was never considered as a chore by us

so if u did not find any intrest while studying these subjects, blame your techers for their inability to generate enough intests in you about these subjects and not the amazing subjects themselves

^^yeh, how was ur teachers matters ...

pathiks said:

true dude......
im studyin in m.u ......most of d subjects they teach here r waste....

tell me 1 thing........ i hav chosen i.t engg coz i was interested in it...... but why was i taught subjects like mechanics, engg drawing,physics,chem in 1st yr???? then again thr r many subjects which r no where related to i.t but they r teachin us those subjects...... WHY????

stop it guys, this thread starter wants " Borland Turbo C++ version 3.00 "

our current education system just encourages learning by rote.. But i didnt give in to.. And i m proud of it.. Also like u not evy1 is interested in history and geography.. I dont say that they arent amazing subjects but just that they dont interest me.. But i had to waste my time learning them.. Also at at this stage of my education (fe engg)i expect that they give me the power to choose my subjects rather than learning shitty chemistry and engg drawing

Exactly True !

That's why i'm applying for US/Canadian Universities whose syllabus is lot better than even IIT(For CS that is) .

They emphasise more on proctical approach rather than just bookish knowledge , which we wil forget after a year or two .

I Seriously HATE Chemistry , n all engineering colleges in India teach , Phy , Chem , etc in 1st Year .

On the other hand , Look at the CS Course at UC Berkeley , they have 2 maths courses n rest is etreme computing stuff for whole year .

@pathiks.... u r in wich collg dude

i m in dj sanghvi mumbai.. And even my second year syllabus sucks.. It s about a decade old..
Btw @zeeshan, best of luck.. Hope that u dont waste half ur productive student years wasting time like us..

in all likelyhood ud b taught by indian students whod have done der schooling from kendrya vidyalaya followed BTech from an NIT and now doing MS+PhD from US

so remember dat wat u r learning in US is essentially sourced from India

^^^ ya agreed indians r most knowledgeable ppl.......
but u will hav 2 agree tat indian education system is wrong smwhr....

The Indian courseware is well-balanced and studynig which will lead to all-round devlopment of an individual

The problem arises in the teaching process of this course

Teachers in India are some of the most under-paid profesionals in our country (not referring to IBs and Public schools).

As a result of this, the brightest minds of our contry, who should in fact be teaching us these courses shy away from becoming teachers and instead, in their places we get losers who have no job prospects in a professional field and so turn to becoming teachers just to earn a living.

When your basic purpose of becoming a teacher is so flawed one can not expect them to teach us with the kind of dedication and zest needed to appeal to peoples senses. As a result their teaching indiuces boredom and an indifferent attitude towards a particular subject which somehow manifest into a hatred for a particular subject. In fact the hatred should be directed towards the teachers who did such a shoddy job teaching us the subject.

I was exposed to such shoddy teachers only after +2, when, on entering college, I was being taught by losers who had graduated from some God-forsaken uni and now pursuing der PG from some equally god-forsaken Uni. Mind you, my Univrsity is considered to be one of the top universities in the country, with MOU with a lot of foreign Uni and Industries

its wrong coz v r nt allowed 2 study subjects of our choice in scools....... v hav 2 study boring subjects

(atleast i think those were boring).........
ok tell me why r indian kids nt able to make diff gadgets like japnese kids????

@shirish y do u think that no indian company has ever developed a popular software??

^^ Bcoz we are INDIANS...

There is a famous sentence, An INDIAN is clever but a GROUP OF INDIANS is Headache.

The proper justification is that, we are weak in business from ancient times. Thats why... But take any good software and see the developer list. U get atleast a developer from India. Isn't it ??
Do u know, how much INDIAN employees M$ have ??

okkkkk ....

Instead of giving answer, let me ask you another question,
Why Japanese kids are not able to develop softwares (or u may say do s/w projects) as Indian kids (yeh.. I say Kids.... U can find many of them here on forum ;-)

) ???

I think, now u can answer urself to ur question !!

Well the fact is that the indian Education System is Purely Theoretical(thereby promoting learning by Rote) and does not have a hint of practicality . It doest not promote the overall development of the child , but only wants it to remember things n give exams rather than stressing whether the child is actually learning(and not remembering) .

Well here's the motto of University of Waterloo Canada .

Tell me and I Forget
Teach me and I Remember
Involve me and I Learn

i Think our education system shoul follow this thought .

hav u researched the education system of Japan and China.
Its the most strict one, so thats the reason.

At least our edu system is not like a prison, its liberal to certain extent.

And wonder why u all r cursing the education system even though u havent faced the worst.

I hav studied from CBSE and by that time the books were much tough but now the syllabus has be reduced to a pinch. Every question that comes in exam comes from text books only now.

Now am in BE of engg(IT) and thats too frm the toughest university, Pune University (also known as Oxford of east). Even getting 70% marks is a big deal here.

AFAIK u can either download only d C++ compiler or or d IDE+compiler

if u want Boralnd's Turbo C++ click on d link

click here 2 get Borland C++ Compiler version 5.5

but stil in many of the schools they start c++ in 11th, its strange they are starting this language in 9th only.

^^ thts coz ppl nw r intelligent to start early....

programming promotes/encourages logical thinkig [unless of course u r intelligen only 2 do copy-paste

]

and n e way dey dont start off wit developing OSes from 9th

dey start doing codin innocent programs like hello world, calculator, sum GK games, leap year, factorials and other such cutsy program

my school dey get kids 2 program in BASIC from 5th [optional tho]

d00d get ur facts right before you make use of that keyboard

d very fact dat u say Astrophysics has got anything to do with weather forcasting reveals the high level of ignorance you have been bestowed upon by Providence

As for you claiming that without computer research in Astrophysics is absolutely impossible, well sorry to break you illusion, but some of the most pioneering work in the field of Astrophyiscis had been done with calculations performed usin Log tables in the 60s. The use of computer from the 70/80s has helped in getting the work done faster. Computers are a means to an end, not the end itself

you might want to have a look at The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System to really understand what Astrophysics really is and throw light on the darkness of ignorance you so happily seem to be existing in.

If you happen to live anywhere close to Pune then I suggest that you take a trip down to IUCAA to see the kind of work some of the brightest minds of this country are involved in, the kind of people possesing brilliance which companys like the Infys, the Kanbays, the Syntels can only dream of recruiting (and keep on dreaming).

If you ever get a chance, you must attend a lecture delivered by people like Dr. Arvind Paranjpe and Prof. Padmanabhan from IUCAA

I can assure you that you will become a convert

PS: People pursuing research in the field of Astrophysics are known as Astrophysicist and not Astro Physician, as you so confidently proclaim
