Will someone come to my aid? (C++ and apps)

I received some assistance on another forum. Here is what I responded with:


Season's greetings.

I now see why some say C++ is an exceedingly difficult language to learn. But my intent is noble. I ultimately hope to become a seasoned specialist in this language. So any advice would be appreciated as it will bring me closer to my dream.

I want to build an artificial intelligence using neural networks.

My app may not be designed to align with the intended purpose and scope of C++ but I'm looking to learn only the best and most exclusive of languages in hopes of creating more advanced apps in the future. Can you please assist me? I believe I am already well on the way. I learned that the best choice to display text content in an app is to use an array rather than a vector. Is this correct?



Any further assistance will be noted and appreciated.

The biggest step you'll ever take in programming is getting "Hello World" up on the screen. Get it to print 10 times and you're a programmer! All computer languages are written in such a way that any reasonably intelligent person will be able to use them effectively. Some are deliberately written so you won't have to press the reset button very often and others (like C++) will have you turning the computer off, leaving it for five minutes and crossing your fingers that it will still work when you turn it on again.

All I've been doing was reading the C++ Primer textbook. I have not programmed anything yet. I'm guessing I can begin my programming quest with lazarus?

See, this is why helping him is a complete waste of time. He hasn't even tried to do anything himself before asking questions. That's lazy and stupid.

Download it and play! Momma birds teach the chicks to fly and never see them again - at least that's the plan.

Okay.

Someone on another forum told me that a simple app in C++ might end up being 1000 lines of code. And that I haven't even gotten to the hard part yet. Such as GUIs and such. Is this a lost cause?

That's why I suggested the Lazarus IDE (Integrated Design Environment) Add button (two clicks), add a region to show results in (two clicks). Double Click on the button you added to the form .. add line print "Hello World"; .. Press f9 to run it and Ostro is very nearly a programmer.

If you install Lazarus and can't figger out what to do next .. post "Got it .. what now?" OK?

Thank you. I will attend to it in due time and report my findings.
