My data structures class calls for me teaching myself C++, and i have to write a basic program for monday.
I have some prior java experience. Right now i need to find new IDE to write some code, (text editor and compiler)
If anybody could direct me to any good online C++ learning sources that would be great, also, any tips or bits of advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch, and enjoy your day!

For the IDE, Qt creator or codeblocks are good choices

cplusplus.com

Thanks for the resources! I kept getting an infinite loop when i would try a while loop with
n%10
n/10

but i worked around it with an if else/recursion; So Monday's program should be good to go.

I know I always tell people to bother him, but KrzaQ has some good C++ knowledge it would seem. I am not sure how far you are looking to go, but if you post your source here he can probably offer some advice if you are into that kind of thing.

Well, It's for a class - SO I'll be going deep enough to pass this, with a minor in CSCI, so I'm looking to learn it well.

Here's the source that i got to work:



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void printreverse(int number){

if (number == 0){
cout << ".";
} else {
cout<< (number%10);
printreverse((number/10));
}

}


int main () {

cout << "Please enter an integer to be reversed. \n";
int number;
cin >> number;
cout << "You entered: " << number << ". \n";
cout << "This number reversed is: ";
printreverse(number);


return 0;
}



************************


the while loop that would cause infinite loop was just:

while (number != 0) {
cout<< number%10;
number/10;
}

Still not really sure why that won't work though.

number = number/10;

QQ Good Catch! I do believe that's it.
e: totally it. now i feel silly.

So I've hit another roadblock. I need to read in Dog info from a file (create a struct for the dog info) then put each struct into a linked List Node. As it stands now, i can get the info fromt he file and into the structs but when it comes to linking the structs together I can't work my pointers; Here's my Source:


#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;



struct dogStats
{
string name;
string color;
string breed;
int age;
dogStats(string Name, string Color,
string Breed,int Age): name(Name), color(Color), breed(Breed), age(Age) {}

};

struct Node
{

dogStats dogs;
Node *next;

Node(dogStats dogSpecs, Node *n): dogs(dogSpecs), next(n) {}

};


void swap ()
{



}
int main ()
{
Node *head;
Node *tail;
Node *pointer;


std::ifstream dogFile( "dogs.txt" );
string a, b, c;
int d;
while (dogFile >> a >> b >> c >> d)
{

cout<<a<<endl;

dogStats Temp = dogStats(a,b,c,d);
Node nTemp = Node(Temp,pointer);
cout<< nTemp.dogs.color << " "<< nTemp.dogs.breed << " " << nTemp.dogs.age<<endl;



}


return 0;
}

You should keep a pointer (preferably std::unique_ptr) to the next node, you cannot keep it by value. Most C++ tutorials will have you spewing new and delete all around, but this isn't good C++ since 2011, so please use caution.
