C++ Tutorial - 1 - Installing Compiler for C++

[az100eletronics12]

What role does c++ take in computer programming? In other words what is c++ good at? Gaming, text handling, hardware?

[magnusbon]

@az100eletronics12 everything actually

[az100eletronics12]

@magnusbon Thanx

[debit256]

whats with g++?

[MrShyguy0]

@debit256 g++ a compiler for C++

[gedist2]

it's hard for you to pronounce firefox isn't it?

u called it firewire here, and in a java tutorial u called it firefag haha

[satsuriyokinawa]

@someguy2 Actually, you can do a lot of things without knowing programming languages. If you have what we call "Makers", you can build games, apllications, and such.But, if you wanna be in total control of the situation, then you certainly need to know a computer language.

[falloutseriesftw]

will notepad++ work?

[MrSupBroski]

@falloutseriesftw if you have the TL plugins, yes

[ujwalvail]

there is another set of C++ tutorials from bucky here

youtube.com/watch?v=tvC1WCdV1X­U

which one is this ??

[chrisall76]

I need to learn this to make a mod for half-life,just after i learned java :l

[CloudDecim]

guys this is the old tutorials you should check the new ones: watch?v=tvC1WCdV1XU&feature=BF­a&list=SPAE85DE8440AA6B83&lf=l­ist_related

[someguyy2]

do u need a computer language for EVERYTHING????

game development,software,etc......­?????????beginner to computer programming

[MrMakeman]

@someguyy2

You can do just about anything in C++. So it's a good place to start.

[SignificantOwl]

@someguyy2 I'm not sure I understand your question entirely. You don't need to know a computer language if you just want to -use- all those things. If you want to -make- anything, ANYTHING for a computer, you need to know a programming language. That language can be C++. C, Java, anything really.

[someguyy2]

@SignificantOwl i was talking about make thx for reply

[JacksonxRhoads23]

@someguyy2 Most definitely. Everything, even webpages.

[SpectralShadeOfDusk]

I Used To Know C++ Then I Forgot

[Cottonuity]

@SpectralShadeOfDusk I used to know C++, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[PH5221]

Spaghetti code. 'Nuff said. This code is messy and incomprehendable.

[FalconPiss]

When I grow up, I wanna be a traffic light coder.

[Phant0mads]

hey, if there are any mac users out there just note that you can simply install Xcode (on the mac os x DVD) which installs gcc (most popular compiler). if you're on linux you can get gcc by entering 'sudo apt-get install build-essentials' (you can also use 'gcc' instead of 'build-essentials', but the latter also installs some important headers list zlib, pthreads and stuff like that.

[MrWundrful]

may I say thank you AND I shall now with your teachings program traffic lights.

[mysite1000]

hey, do people find these c++ tutorial from thenewboston easier than those of antiRTFM? thanks for your feedback

[SporeForDummies]

Did I click on it? Oh, heeere we go

[sciman001]

240p lol bucky, this is GREAT! :)

[TheJuli1241]

IM NOT GONNA PROGGRAM FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS BUT FOR THE KEYBOARD!

[cyanz27]

"How neat is that?!?!"

[wickedmetalhead]

Pretty Cool, Huh ?

[mick5000x]

i have to watch this for robotics. My "teacher" is terrible at teaching so i yea

[DudemanofAwesome]

I shall devote my life to programming traffic lights! ONWARD!

[CamandBre]

Just give us a link in the description for it >.<

[TheGenesisMG]

its dev C++ free?????

[TheGenesisMG]

its dev C++ free

[BollywoodSPY]

Bucky was polite and so serious in his old tutorials LOL

[StonePickaxes]

Lol for windows xp.

[delgadogorn]

Is there a difference between codes on c and c++, or the language is the same?

[FahimAliTV]

@delgadogorn c++ can do the same as c but with less code if you are going to start coding i recomend C++

[iamKorupt]

@delgadogorn The languages are EXACTLY the same. Microsoft took C and named it C++. It's part of a conspiracy involving Al Qaeda and Hulk Hogan.

[iceemberpro]

luckily for me linux machines don't need a compiler

[propelera91]

c++ and other programing tutorials on

d o l l a r - t r e e . n e t

[yungchef92]

When i open the program and try input the numbers, I put in one number and press enter and it just comes up with like 10 numbers and shuts off...I am not able to input a second number. Help would be appreciated.

[mylifeis2coolcmc2]

@yungchef92 what program because some programs do curtain things, and sometimes a program forgets/doesn't know that you are using a different type of compiler. If it auto closes that means that the program does not have a ' system("pause");  ' in it, if this is not present and it auto closes, that means that your compiler does NOT auto pause the system, just put in the system("pause"); right before the return 0; and you should be fine.

[tculig]

Will it blend?

[WolfosDotOrg]

@TheNORCALnerd89 CodeBlocks. No matter what anyone says, don't use DevCPP as it's deprecated.

[gjh33]

@WolfosDotOrg codeblocks pisses me off though.

[ziodice]

@gjh33 Whats wrong with codeblocks?

[9wrongnumber]

@TheNORCALnerd89 use code block its easy

[Mattias01001010]

This isn't the compiler thenewboston uses in many of his videos, atleast it doesn't look the same :/

[EpilepticElbow]

@Mattias01001010 it is... well only for his c and c++ videos

[pandaclue2]

does it work for windows 7??

[EpilepticElbow]

@pandaclue2 yes, yes it does!

[Joestrange8]

Does Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Count as a compiler?

[reboh79]

@Joestrange8 No. VC++ is totally seperate. Compiler is a program that compiles code from a language, which means it converts it into machine code. VC++ is an IDE.

[GoVisualTeam]

@Joestrange8 Nope. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 uses the .Net Framework, so you got other classes to work with, functions, voids, etc... That programming language si usually called "VC++"

[reeathproject]

@Joestrange8 Well you can say that it is a compiler cum editor for C++ programs for the Windows platform.

[OSDolphin]

@Joestrange8 Visual C++ is an IDE. It contains a compiler though.

[TheIkarus93]

can anybody suggest what should i start learning first, C or C++ ?

[imralav]

@TheIkarus93 C++ is basically evolved C. It's newer, and has everything C had with many improvements. So the answer is clear ; p

[TheIkarus93]

@imralav thanks bro :)

[Zk2500]

@imralav Wait a second.. is there C+, or did they just jump from C to C++?

[imralav]

@Zk2500 Haven't heard about C+ ; o It's straight from C to C++. As far as I know there is also C#, which is used only on Windows, I guess?

[wrnl]

@Zk2500 C ----> C++

[MrWundrful]

@TheIkarus93 well I am just starting and from what I understand C is part of C++, it is basically just an update

[Phant0mads]

@MrWundrful wrong: C and C++ are two seperate languages. C++ ist largely based on C, but it does have huge differences. basic C code will probably compile in any modern C++ compiler, but there are some incompatibilities that may prevent a successful compilation. What I usually do is write some code in C (cause it's fast), then wrap that code around extern "C" {} tags and then use the functions to write a wrapper class in C++ ;)

[cookiesRgood26]

instaling dev-c++ and i see a file, "Packman.exe" whats that? a basic game that comes with it or something? epic tutorial btw, tysm

[idiotrun1997]

@PrimeTuber Is it ok if you learn C++ before C?

[BacklTrack]

@idiotrun1997 Yeah, it's fine. Just learn one or the other really. I've noticed that people new to programming always think they need to learn more than one language at once or they need to be learned in some order. This is really untrue. Learn one or the other then stick with it if you like it and you have the core concepts down, or switch if you dislike it. Remember, don't overextend yourself and focus on learning the language and its philosophies down before you move on to antoher.

[TheWaffelBeast]

does this work on Mac ??

[SepradistPhantom]

So what compiler would people recommend using for Linux? I hear Vim is great but the learning curve is somewhat... off-putting for the time being. Preferably in the Ubuntu/Mint repos... or the Arch Repos/AUR... or available as a .deb or ppa (other than that i'm not fussy ;) ). Thanks a lot!

[packetpirate]

Even in 2008, Dev-C++ hadn't been supported for over 3 years... why do people still recommend using it? Use Code::Blocks or g++...

[TronEmpireTutorial]

@packetpirate Yeah, I agree with you. But this video was made in 2008.

[packetpirate]

@TronEmpireTutorial

That reply made no sense... I was saying that Dev-C++ hasn't been supported since 2005. Even in 2008, it was outdated. The point is that it was a terrible compiler then, and it still is now.

[iwannabethekid34x]

I shall create HACKS!!! LAWL

[Tomahawkinmasta]

@iwannabethekid34x lol seriously.



[BacklTrack]

@iwannabethekid34x ..fag

[iwannabethekid34x]

@BacklTrack Only little homophobic kids say "fag"

umad?

[BacklTrack]

@iwannabethekid34x People like you..really really fucking suck. Annoying cunt trolls. 

[iwannabethekid34x]

@BacklTrack You're the one who raged

[BacklTrack]

@iwannabethekid34x Raged? I think not. Pointed out your idiocy and added an insult for good measure? Yes.

[iwannabethekid34x]

@BacklTrack You provide no evidence of why I'm an idiot nor did your insult make sense.

You just decided to rage at me for saying "I shall create hacks"

YOU are the idiot, so you should shut up you unintelligent asshole.

[BacklTrack]

@iwannabethekid34x "I shall create HACKS!!! LAWL" Is why I insulted you. Especially the "LAWL" part. BUt if you want to prove me wrong and unintelligent..create a hack. Seriously. But Im done with this..this is youtube and I got to upload some more sexy metal.

[iwannabethekid34x]

@BacklTrack Youtube is full of people who throw around insults.

And you're one of those people.

Maybe instead of replying to my comment saying "...fag"

You should have proved yourself to be more mature and intelligent, but instead, all you did was say "...fag"

which led me to believe you are a homophobe, and according to studies, over 90% of homophobes are indeed closet homosexuals.

And yes, I am going to create a hack. Deal with it.

Because unlike you, I have a functional brain.

[BacklTrack]

@iwannabethekid34x Haha alright buddy. But just as a side note I didn't use fag in the way that refers to homos -- I used it as another way of saying "dumbass" or something to that effect. Oh..and before I go, technically you'd be the one without evidence in this one..since I doubt such studies exist.

[iwannabethekid34x]

@BacklTrack Oh yeah? Search up homophobia studies on google.

You'll see :)

And "fag" Often refers to a homosexual human.

[AsHoTRoN]

Nice tutorial dude but you sound torched.

[SebastianRoces]

Check out my channel

I'll be going over C++, computer engineering courses and other related courses. I upload videos daily.

[FreePKMNWalkthroughs]

java is done, on to C++!

[EpilepticElbow]

lol. my school is teaching us visual basic. in year 11. that sucks. thanks man, you're better than most schools :P

[Nikotiini69]

@EpilepticElbow Ahahaha! Seriously? Visual basic? We have pascal and after that c and c++.

[StevenTheProgrammer]

before the visualstudio part in that link below, it's micro soft dot c0m

[StevenTheProgrammer]

Why aren't we using VISUAL C++ 2010 EXPRESS?

Alot better than Dev-C++ ; Download it here: visualstudio/en-us/products/20­10-editions/visual-cpp-express

Dev-C++ is extremily old; you can tell by the release date of this video, because it is 2008; the release version that they're using in this video is the same version that is out right now...SAD!

[programmerofIAU]

@StevenTheProgrammer dude...look at the date this was made....2008..i dont think they had visual C++ 2010 in 2008.................

[sernikpl2010]

@programmerofIAU Hi, will this tutorial work for me if I use it in visual C++ 2010 or should I do it in the Bloodshed Software which he uses in these videos

[BacklTrack]

@programmerofIAU I think he was just trying to say that people shouldn't continue to use outdated development software.

[warnexus]

bucky thanks im starting c++ in 9 days

[JakobRobert00]

i really like your tutorials they help me very much with getting startetd with c++

[waldtbc]

Do you like Dev C++ or Code Blocks better? CodeBlocks seems like a poorman's Visual Studio but I like it. I'll try Dev and thanks for you posts. :)

[DMAZLPDtrooper]

What is  I have a Mac?

[tomek123kotek]

me no likey the very basics, *skips to GUI making*

[Skyrodude]

TheNewBoston, is there anything YOU DONT KNOW LOL.

Great job

[BabyMinecraftStudios]

/watch?v=tvC1WCdV1XU 2 tutorials?

[basketballdude138]

this is like my highschool lol i wouldnt know actually im only 11 but i will know in a few years

[anidude98]

@basketballdude138 Hey man, dont think you cant get it because your young. THIS IS OUR TIME! (i'm 13) If you want to learn this stuff, DO IT! Now of course if you dont get c++ then thats fine. Check out java or python, Great languages!

Teach yourself to learn!

Remember, The stupid have wisdom forced on them, but do not appreciate it. But the wise man beats himself for the satisfaction of finding it...

... i feel kinda cool right now

I think ill put that on facebook now.

[basketballdude138]

@anidude98 well im learning it but i was saying that they usually dont even teach this in highschool bu ti wouldnt be sure about that i need to learn to make my sentences make sense lol

[Kulopto]

It's weird to think that I'm learning off of youtube. So awesome.

[philtabest]

At certain points of this tutorial you sound just like Microsoft Sam.

[MrDabeatbox]

awesome tutorials so easy to follow and understand. I subbed O_+

[Erickarkos]

omg thank you so much, i tried many sites but they were too confusing then i stumbled upon your channel thank you so much for the easy to understand tutorials

[EpilepticElbow]

I was told that dev-c++ is outdated and crap compared to new compiler things like codeblocks and eclipse, is it still okay to use? D:

[qwas12348gr5]

@EpilepticElbow

Yeah, I often hear the same things. But to be honest, Dev C++ is a hundred times simpler then any other compiler I've ever found. I have visual 2010 C++ and there are so many errors and the scripting is slightly more complicated. I would go for Dev C++ if I were you, that's what I'm doing.

[EpilepticElbow]

@qwas12348gr5 Yeah, i heard that visual c++ isn't actually pure c++, its caled something like C++/CLI, and yeah, i turned to visual c++ because there is pretty much NO tutorials on GUI and stuff with dev-c++(or any other "CODE ONLY" compiler), do you know anywhere i could learn that stuff? :D

[qwas12348gr5]

@EpilepticElbow

No, atually. I don't :(

Visual has a ton of problems, though. I'm getting insanely fed up with it...

[EpilepticElbow]

@qwas12348gr5 Yeah, it can get quite frustrating :P

[avalon0101]

thanks... subbing.. = )

[TheVideoMaker444]

This isn't real programming,real programming is making those programs.HardCore C++ is making those programs that allow you to edit other stuff.

[thenishanth420]

@TheVideoMaker444 You can not directly go to a college without learning your primary stuff.The same has to be taken note of here.You have to first learn the basics and then use your knowledge to create vivid and beautiful or ppowerfull programs :)

[KTCLAN]

Visual C++ is better

[thenishanth420]

@KTCLAN It sure is.But you can learn the basics with anything :D

[xXHeartlessRikuXx]

Welcome to Youtube University

[CrashCommunityHQ]

I have a Mac and have XCode, doesn't the industry today use Macs more?

[armor175]

wow..im6 yrsold and meknow how to use compiler!!! :)..so simple

[Oliarvis]

@armor175 It's not rocket science.

[Meskyan]

If you want the god of all editors, check out VIM, which is the "improved" version of VI. I doubt it gets any better than that. Pretty much a 100% customizable (and I really mean 100%, not 99%) Once you learn how to use it, you'll be extremely fast as well. Can easily write your own macro's and personalize it exactly as you want. It's available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows, and it's free.

For those interested, check out this rather hilarious introduction video to VIM:

vimeo. com/6999927

[blackphoenix1207]

why didn't you just use notepad ++, you can use it to perform the same thing right... ?

[Aleksandrme]

@blackphoenix1207 Notepad++ isn't really considered a IDE. It can't compile C++ just helps with editing. Its like a step up from notepad.

[Terror3659]

firefock?

[MegaAlfox]

since I hear a lot of these people saying these compiler is very old, could someone recommend me a better compiler?

[cplusplus0x]

#cpphelp on irc.mibbit.net, webclient at mibbit.com

for live help ;)

[zhir96]

omg omg OMG! when i tried to learn 3ds max i found thenewboston tutorials they were great and now c++ tutorials this is going to be a great journy!

[warjak100]

is this on mac?

[JalenTheEpic]

What type of C++ should i focus on if i want to program games?

[bondservant4Him]

do a c programming compiler installation tutorial please

[LemonPieLoL]

man, i actually love you.

[astroboyjordan]

DEV C++!!

THUMBS UP PLZ!

[astroboyjordan]

i am 12 and wanting too make a awesome rpg and i dont know what is the best programing language for making a game?

[Sagaterious]

@astroboyjordan If your looking about making a major game your best off coding in Java, but remember it's not all about the coding, you have to think about Animations and graphics also.

[tibiaowned1]

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keaft]

These tutorials are great! I first started learning with your python tutorials and now I'm on to these C++. Thank you bucky!

[fahadssj5]

great tutorials man, have you made any for the photoshop. 

[446646]

I've been trying to learn C++ for the last couple of months and I gotta admit, this is interesting.

[A1phaendOmega]

How can I download this? It doesn't succesfully downoad on my computer and the firewall isn't causing the problem. And I can't use Microsoft visual express 2010, because apparently microsoft is gay and hates me. Help would be nice thank-you.

[sonicxx85]

can someone answer this for me please! do i have to learn C before i learn C++???

[Maestroshnitzel]

@sonicxx85 No.

[TheBartman47]

@sonicxx85 no, you do not need to learn C before learning C++. It is actually best to start learning C++ because it has extra features not found in C.

[KissMeImPunk]

@TheBartman47 Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it also backwards compatible with C? As in, can you implement statements from C into the C++ compiler?

[TheBartman47]

@KissMeImPunk - almost all C code will work in C++, however there are a few exceptions. It's been a long time since I did any C++ programming, so I don't recall exactly what they were, I just remember a few nuances that were slightly different.

[XSKYNETXx]

@thenewboston

Would the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler make no difference?

[freakinONION]

dear bucky,

is there no end to your awesomeness? i didn't think so.

[hammadghulam]

I have installed the Eclipse IDE for C/C++

[flanks123]

hey please anyone tell me how to learn computer programming as i am doin mo olevels and i need this

[geme765]

Thanks Bucky! I'm starting to learn C++. :)

[exia78]

good video, just started learning C

Thanks

[tigerlovesrupert]

Dev-C++ is no more!

Use CodeBlocks instead! Its Free.

[MrApetastic]

@tigerlovesrupert

If you watch his newer C++ tutorials you will notice that he switched to CodeBlocks^^

[freaxOMG]

when i saw the extracts is saw "Extracting: Packman"

:D

[TrollsArePeople]

Okay, I wanna learn to do 3d animation to make a game. IM GOING TO LEARN C++ THEN LEARN UR 3dsMAX TUTORIALS. THEN ILL FUCKING MAKE A GAME. THEN IM GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU BUCKY!. FUUUCKK IMM SOOOOO EXCIIITTEEEDDDD

[The111DooD]

I know this is from 2008, but as far as I know, people shouldn't be using Dev-C++ any more. There are other free open source IDEs such as CodeBlocks, which are more up to date and less prone to producing dodgy programs.

[LegendsOfShadow]

Why not just download a proffesional program like Microsoft Visual C++?

[LoneWolfy42]

@LegendsOfShadow I'm cheap :>

[LegendsOfShadow]

@LoneWolfy42 The Express version is free.........

[wendygroth]

C++ for noobs is the best.

[NeoTheo9]

Thanks to you, programming went from looking like a distant dream to a piece of cake! Thanks a lot man!

[MrTheNewBEN]

Youtube=The new high school.

[TubeFreakification]

@MrTheNewBEN haha well put

[catholickid135]

@MrTheNewBEN For me its 8th grade doin highschool level :D
