Project Programming – Day 1 – Learning C++

Hey People.

So I decided with the influence of one of my developer friends to learn C++. I am going to be following along with the site http://www.learncpp.com/. These posts will describe the sections I’ve covered and also what little mini side projects I’ve been working on. I’m hoping as time progresses I get involved into a much larger project and hopefully GUI based programs, then a simple video game, and then finally a real video game.

Today I covered sections 1.1 to 1.3 at work, which covered the basic structures of a program. The side project I did was a simple console app that presented the user with a simple menu, that they would choose whether they wanted to do Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division. Once they selected which one they wanted, they then could do an unlimited amount of numbers, and when they decided to stop adding numbers by entering 0, the program would report their answer. Here are some screen grabs from the .EXE


So that’s the update on that. If you want the code I used to do it, feel free to leave a comment.
