[QUOTE="Logan, post: 225018"] Thank you for the clarification cazabam. I was trying to refer on my previous post C++ as the "general generic Object-Orientated C programming language" but when you're just starting, you tend to just see: The letter C. Maybe I should just refer to all the different languages as C*. Good old wildcard to include ALL available "flavors" of C*. There's SO many ways to use C*, and that alone should tell you why this concept and structure is like ESSENTIAL and fundamentally the building block for so many other languages it's rediculous. And to clarify what I meant on my post, I meant you can take what you learn on any flavor of C*, understand the differences between it and another OS's C compiler, and you most likely can start programming on it. It would be easier to learn another C when you touched one C*, than it would be to come from let's say.. Java, VB, assembly, and had to learn it. That was my comparison. Another example, for those who don't follow my multiple C references: Imagine learning C as learning American English, you may not be able to go to England and blend right in, they use it differently and have accents and some times entirely different sentence structures/greetings, but fundamentally the language is built the same. Now imagine java as spanish, the transition is probably going to be harder from spanish (java) to english (C*), than from one form of english (C) to another form of english (C*). That was my big point on the C topic and the differences between the "flavors". <rambles on until death comes to him> Hehe :) [/QUOTE]
