Java to C+

[Vagabond]

I took a course in Java a while back, and now I'm encouraging a friend of mine to take it. However, he wants to take C+ to be like the rest of his classmates I guess . I still want to help him but they are two different languages.
Does anyone know easy ways to convert Java to C+?

For example: what would system.printline and string.length be in C+?

I think it couldn't be anything other than hand-coded. I wouldn't say there's any reliable program that could convert Java to C++.

If you have an understanding of Java, it shouldn't take too long to pick up the basics of C++.

Well not really a program, just a list of methods/mains that would correspond to Java. Thanks for the link, I think its pretty useful.

BTW: Do you know any good compilers for C+?? I used JCreator for Java because Net Beans was annoying me.

Thanks, I rep'd you already but you'll get another.

Any time.

usually the questions were FROM C TO JAVA

but from JAVA to C it shouldn't be too hard

lots of stuff are similar to each other; making the jump shouldn't be a huge problem.

usually if he knew C first, then it'd be easier to learn other language [not asm and other primitive languages such as cobol etc tho]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

PS: I sent you a PM + rep.

Glad you got the rep; the forums have been acting screwy lately especially with the skins. It keeps changing.
The pm was a question about Visual Basic, I was just wondering if it was easier than any other language.

eh? I don't seem to deserver that rep, anyhow

easier, hmm as far as productivity is concerned, you can whip out a simple text program in just 5 minutes [full controls and gui]
need not to bother with .res files like in C++
so I'd say yes, it is easier compared with C++
although, to get more things done, people would really prefer C since it's the standard for win32 apps. [including delphi]

hasn't seen much vb6 programs in the commercial world.
anyway, they say .net is the easiest, don't really bother tho, imo, .net is still vb haha!


#statistics
notepad program in vb would take only 50 lines and a few minutes in designing the gui

notepad program on c/java would take 200+ lines and more headache crafting the gui 'of course if you use a gui maker for java, it would be easier]



that's it
