For a book on C++ with some emphasis on OO I found "Object oriented programming with C++" by David Parsons very good. ISBN 1-85805-2327 It tells you about syntax basics but doesnt spend ages telling you what a variable is, so it is ground up so to speak, but swiftly gets on to the more interesting features. Also at £11-95 it is quite reasonable. It does not presume any particular IDE or OS. -----Original Message----- From: owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of David Johnson Sent: 18 January 2002 21:20 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [LUG] GCC compilation? lee quick wrote:
just taking first tentative steps into the strange world of C does anyone know the answer to the following i write a source file say : Example.c then GCC Example.c produces an executable called a.out ? sure enough a.out works but why is it not called Example.out of course i could rename a.out ,but why does it do this in the first place. read the man pages for GCC but can't find any explanation.
I am also taking those steps. Or rather re-taking. I briefly played with C a few years ago but never got past copying examples from books... As a matter of fact I decided that I would like to learn C/C++ only today. Do you have a book on C? Would you recommend it? I have an old Borland book on Turbo C++ and it is clearly not intended for people like me! Thanks, David Johnson. -- Microsoft Tech Support: Windows?
