Forth and Lisp are down the hall, to left, the second door.

Besides, this book suxxx. If you want an explanation of language features, just pick up any other book on C++. This book reads more like a standard or spefication and less like some guide or elaborate explanation. Or maybe that's exactly what you want...

may as well read "Is a Chimney Sweep the Career For Me?"

what's wrong with C++?

>>108302043
It's not JeetScript or Python, which therefore makes it esoteric machine spirit scripture for wizards.

>>108301733
Don't read it. It will rot your brain.
Read Kernighan's book about C

wizards must read the wizard book

>>108301733
OP here. I am serious about learning C++ (and being a Wizard). Is the book really that bad? It's literally written by the guy who made the language.

>>108303929
It's a good book, of all the resources it improved my C++ skills the most. Some parts are very boring though, but you have to read them to understand the C++ corner cases.

34 y/o virgin here, still struggling with K&R. Hope you're smarter than me.

It's more of a reference book with exercises than a beginner book. Assuming you're a beginner and you want to learn from are Bjarne read Principles and Practice Using C++.

This book is utter rubbish just like everything else Bjarne has written. Do not learn anything about C++ from Bjarne.

>>108302466
>nooo, instead learn how to write this ancient memelang with no generics and no collection types, from an edition of the book back when people wrote code that looked like this

power(base, n)
int base, n;
{
    int i, p;
    /* niggers */
}

Cniles lost

Anon if your goal is to learn C++ and nothing else there's probably 1000 better ways.

>>108303929
That's the problem. C++ is a terrible language. It adds about 5 things missing from C and the rest 98% of it is bloated cancer. That's why trannies make a new language every other year: Java, Python, C#, Go, Rust - it's all an attempt to fix C++

>>108301733
I'll be a 40 year old virgin in a couple months and I want to learn C++ too.
I guess it's in our blood.

You only need these:
>learncpp.com/
When you get comfortable writing c++ programs
> you can also check out Effective C++ by Scott Meyers

That's exactly how i was taught to write C during my EE degree and masters a few years ago kek

>>108307555
I think I see a new meta on what EE majors learn every 3 weeks or so. One day they say that EE is all math, no coding, and that the only kind of coding EEs pick up is whatever they learn on their spare time, plus a bit of Matlab and Python that every single STEMtranny has to take.
Another day they say EE is Applied Physics and that you gotta know Python, Matlab, but also bash scripting and hardware description languages JUST to be able to manage your workflow for digital circuit development.
Yet another day they say EE is that degree where you learn a fuckton about Communications and Networks, so not only do you need to know Matlab and bash scripting, but also how to set up a server, manage Google Cloud/AWS services, and also do some low-level systems programming in tranny langs like Rust.
And on certain days they just say EE is exactly like CS (same OS, Networks, DS&A courses), except with a few extra lessons on how to build instrumentation amplifiers and the magic of impedance.

And on some days they say EE is just a degree about Power Systems, Antennas, and also about electronic circuits, which actually kind of makes sense, given the name of the degree, but that the average EE major does not actually learn much about programming if at all unless they sign up for some programming/CS theory courses as electives.

They can't all be right, can they?

stop now before you waste time bro. learn a real craft, like how to draw in perspective

no point in learning anything related to programming
it's all done by ai engineering agents nowadays

>>108301733
im a 30 year old virgin and i got filtered by C++ in undergrad DSA so hard i switched majors.
