Further C++ material - view new or old

For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

I've taken out the old header <iostream.h> and replaced it by the current <iostream>. I've adding in using namespace std; where I've need to, in order to allow me access to cin and cout without a need to prefix then with std:: under the new header file (and to save me loads of errors at load time when other standard stuff is loaded!). And I've commented out the supressions of deprecated warnings from my makefile - # COPTS = -Wno-deprecated

I've taken the opportunity to add in to many of the main programs ... adding samples of how they compile and run, so that you can see what the programs do. Nothing to do with the way they work - everything to do with making them better examples when delegates come back and look and see how programs on their courses worked.

An update log for the basic defining and using classes in C++ module:

All in one first demo [here] replaces previous all in one demo [here].

Separating that into two files - the new main program [here] replaces the previous [here], but the included functions are unaltered [here]. I have added a few comments to the latter file, but as none of the executable statements nor C preprocessor directives has been changed, I have not provided a duplicate file on this site.

Use of a header (include) file and methods held in a separate file - main program of the demo [here] replaces previous version [here]. The include file [here] and functions [here] are unchanged.

An example with a specific contructor and destructor. The new class code is [here] and the previously used class code [here]. The new main program is [here] and the previous version [here]. Note that the only reason that I've had to change the class code at all is that I have added uses of cout in the constructor and destructor - as a demonstration so that the user / person running the code can see when they're called. You would certainly not want to do this in production code.

For completeness, the new makefile is [here] replacing the previous one [here].

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
