C++

Hey /prog/. I have to take an Intro to C++ course for my degree (not CS). I know most if not all of you hate it. I've used it very little myself. I do know C, a bit of Smalltalk, and some Prolog.

SO:
-Should I remember what I learn about the language itself, or should I forget everything about it after the class and never speak of it again?

-Does it offer any real advantages over C?

-Is it really a bad language, or is it so complex that implementations just can't get it right? Or both? If it's truly bad, provide examples please.

Thanks /prog/.

Well, bad thread. Might as well delete it, mods! Thank god we have mods. They always know what's best for us.
