Well, to be blunt, since you have severe difficulties with simple
ordinary English, any programming language would be difficult. And C++
is more difficult than most. Try first to learn English.

This is answered in the FAQ.

See the FAQ.

An English dictionary, perhaps. You should at least _try_ to spell correctly
when posting here.

Certainly. I may have made som errors while copying, but you can fix that?

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout <<
" *\n"
" * *\n"
" * * *\n"
" * * * *\n"
" * * *\n"
" * *\n"
" *\n";
}

Maybe 10may.agn03 has problems with his/her keyboard, considering the amount
of missing characters and the number of duplicate characters. When the
batteries of my wireless keyboard are depleted, I also write like that.

yes, that advice is essential

Certainly. I may have made som errors while copying, but you can fix that?

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout <<
" *\n"
" * *\n"
" * * *\n"
" * * * *\n"
" * * *\n"
" * *\n"
" *\n";

}

and my answer could be this:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << ..............
........................


return 0;
}


and i could have asked him to "Go Figure"

I believe he meant e-book, like a PDF containing the information published
in the "real" book.

About the dictionary comment, is it really necessary to bash someone for
their poor english skills? I thought that in this day and age it was pretty
clear to everyone that quite a big chunk of netizens do not hold english as
their native language.

Impossible to tell. I suspected it was a misspelling for "a book".

About the dictionary comment, is it really necessary to bash someone for
their poor english skills?

No, and I don't believe I am. I believe the OP knows how to spell words like
ppl, ny1, pls, r and thx correctly (or at least that they're incorrectly
spelt). The remark was that one would be taken more seriously if one does
try to spell correctly, but at the same time, we should recognise that some
don't have English as their first, or even second, language.

No, we're not necessarily assuming that 10may is a native English
speaker, we're ticked off about the use of txtspk. If it's not part of
FAQ 5.x, it should be.

In this day and age any decent news client has a built-in spell checker,
there's really no excuse for they kind of text the OP produced. There's
a huge difference between people who are not good at English and those
who don't care, those who are not good at it gets the grammar messed up
and uses words in the wrong way, but at least they try.

hiii ppl...i m learning c++ language...can ny1 suggest me a nice book

Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo is one book that is often recommended
to beginners. Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ can be downloaded from his
site, if you don't feel like paying.

well theoretical portion is clear but m weak in practicals....i find
difficult to apply logics in practical session.......

Sorry, can't help you there, it's very much a question about experience.
But do the exercises in whatever book you use and you'll have a start,
the rest is trying.

 

[Sherm Pendley]

About the dictionary comment, is it really necessary to bash someone for
their poor english skills?

Someone who had poor English skills and made a sincere effort would have done
better. The OP posted *deliberately* broken English, known as "IM-speak",
with abbreviations like "ne1" for "anyone" and "pls" for "please".

I thought that in this day and age it was pretty
clear to everyone that quite a big chunk of netizens do not hold english as
their native language.

That's precisely why IM-speak is frowned upon here. Standard English is
difficult enough for a non-native speaker; making life even more difficult
for them by intentionally posting broken English is downright rude.

C++, A Hand's On Approach by Eric Nagler could be a good bet.

BTW, Im not going to pick the typos, slangs or any junkies in your
posts. I just replied for what I understood from your post.
Try to avoid slangs in your posts. It has 3 process, Read your slangs,
convert the slang to real word and finally try to understand your
problem.
If you type in plain English or exact words, the intermediate
conversion of your slangs could be avoided for us. (in terms of
computer, if we can exclude a step, we can have better performance
no?).

Yeah, well, the OP is posting from Google Groups, so that lets out the
decent newsreader part.

Dear 10may.....


are we chatting on some Instant Messenger or are we on USENET ?

???

Yes, but at least Firefox can spellcheck textboxes on webpages, and I
think some other browsers can too.

The types of errors which the poster made are NOT those typical
of someone using English as a foreign language, but rather those
typical of someone who's too lazy to be rigorous. Until that
characteristic is corrected, it's hopeless for him to try and
learn programming. (What is it that Dijkstra said: "Besides a
mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one's
native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent
programmer."

 

[James Kanze]

Yeah, well, the OP is posting from Google Groups, so that lets out the
decent newsreader part.

Google Groups means that he's editing the text in a browser.
Any decent browser will allow using any standard editor for
editing text in POST boxes; I'm using Google Groups, in Firefox,
and I edit my postings in gvim (using the "It's all text"
add-on).

Failing that, it's still easier to copy/paste into an
editor, then back into the POST box, than to try and edit native
in the POST box.

And frankly: if you need a spell checker to do better than he
did, you've got a real problem.

I've emailed Marshall and proposed it as an addition to 5.4.

Yeah, that's true, at least as of the 2.0 they installed at work. I
noticed that it was spellchecking the stuff in text entry boxes.
