Why buy Red Hat when you can download it for freeKevin wrote:Also, red hat is pricy comared to windows

I think he ment that Red Hat is so cheap that it seams like piracy, but Red Hat actually is NOT free anymore. The free version of RH has been renamed Fedora Core, and RH has become RH Enterprise and RH Pro, and some others.PQBC at school wrote:Why buy Red Hat when you can download it for freeKevin wrote:Also, red hat is pricy comared to windows

With that space problem... thats what the code tag is for. The code tags are:Kevin wrote:
/*this is a comment*/

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)

___int variable = 1;

FYI: _ = space(can't tab or space with forums...)
I also know windows API, but I just use a template(too much to remember), and C + DirectX9(New to DX)
I don't want to use C in an operating system because it is case sensitive: In an OS that is not good...for example, in linux you can have a temp Directory, a TEMP, a Temp, a tEmp etc. but wich one holds the files you are looking for? I have no problem with C in Application programming, since case sensitivity doesn't matter. That is why I like Pascal, BASIC, and even MASM32 over C...
Question: why are C and pascal the only languages where you have to end your instruction with a semicolon?
Code: Select all
[code]
Code: Select all

C and Pascal are not the only languages that require a semicolon at the end of a statement; there are many, but to list a few, Java, C++, Perl, and PHP also require a semicolon at the end of each statement. This allows the use of statements longer than one line without including an explicit continue-on-next-line indicator like the _ of some BASIC implementations. Also, lines can be broken at any whitespace without affecting meaning, which is very useful when sending code via a medium that could potentially break lines where they were not previously broken -- for example, on a printed page or in a regular plain-text email, where line lengths are limited.Kevin wrote:Question: why are C and pascal the only languages where you have to end your instruction with a semicolon?
you really believe devc++ is a good ide? boy you good a problem there. on your actual question: emacs, kdevelop, eclipse, anjuta and of course vim just to name a view. again devc++ is probably one of the worst IDE's available out there ( buggy, debugger doesn't work properly, class views are slow, auto completition algo is probably a flat array search and fork slow etc. etc. )Kevin wrote:Nekrophedius, I know it has freeBASIC, and that's all well and dandy, but where's the linux equivilant to the Dev-C++ IDE?
agreed...Jeff - Linux is a fine and good Operating system - but if that were to happen, the world would be upside down - Linux would have security holes and viruses, hackers would be running windows(5000), and Apple will just sit there and look pretty like it always does...
Also I just don't like linux! It's opens applications slow because it has an ext3 filesystem(I like NTFS/FAT32). Why do you think pubishers don't make linux games, and Mac and windows fans are sitting there and laghing hahahaha in your face?
yeah you probably would of course... you like Devc++ which can only handle c and c++ but you stay away from C(rappy programming lang). dude who are you trying to fool?Its:
-slower filesystem
-bulky kernel
-market share
-compatibility
-programming issues in assembly
@1 again show me
@2 ya right, you actually ever had a look at the structure of the linux kernel? it has it's faults but it is certainly not a bad and absolutely not a bulky kernel.
@3 oh i missed that above :p
@4 compatibility to what? i know more linux apps that can cope with microsoft formats than the other way around.
@5 what issues? at&t syntax? first of all at&t syntax is not primarily focused on intel cpus. second, there's also nasm for linux afair. third you can use your precious intel notation ( which is in fact ambigous and after all not as clean as the at&t syntax ) with gas too...
ANSI standard OS? convert applications from one OS to another? do you have an idea about what you are speaking? projects like WINE and several others alike should signal you that this is a task that is hard to complete and in the end is senseless.I wish there was just some kinda ANSI standard OS, or at least an OS that can convert applications from other OSs to its own...
If I was a good enough programmer, I could probably make one with MASM32 + WinAsm Studio, Dev-Pascal, and freeBASIC(I will stay away from C(rappy programming lang.)!)...
