I already compiled and ran my first code but there's this thing.
When I run it, cmd flashes and disapears.(I'm using Dev-C++ on windows to make it)
Anyways, I think there was a command or function to make the cmd pause till I press enter or something like that so that I am able to read whatever the output was, the thing is, I cant remember the name of the function or how to write it.
Can one of you tell me which it is, if there is one.
BTW here's my code:





#include <stdio.h>



main ()

{

  printf("Hello World!");

}

Why does batch have a function to pause the program till acknowledged but C which is supposed to be OH SO GREAT doesn't?

And it's not the same at all. He removed the "getchar()" and added "int argc, char *argv[]" and that "ANUS" crap".
Anyways, I added the gerchar and when I ran it, it wouldn't stay open. I think it has something to do with "int argc, char *argv[]" but I do not know.

Why does this thread even exist.

Because C doesn't have a user interface. Stop being stupid.

It has nothing to do with main's arguments. Now finish reading K&R .

Javascript is usually a good first language.

I agree, Javascript is a fantastic first language. Here's a protip though, Javascript is unlike any language you will ever program in. It has functional elements, and a prototype system. It doesn't have block scope, but function scope. There are plenty of things I could go into but this list would get quite long.

Here's my suggestion if you want to learn Javascript. Firstly, get Firefox because it has Firebug. Next, read Eloquent Javascript. Next, read Javascript : The Good Parts by Doug Crockford while watching his videos at YUI Theatre. That should get you going.

Javascript's community is changing and it's quickly becoming one of the best. With the information I just gave you you're well on your way to becoming a good programmer.

Lastly, don't think that Javascript is just a client side scripting language. Frameworks like Node.js are quickly changing that and exploiting Javascript's natural elegance.

Javascript is an awful first language because it's nothing like any language you will ever program in.

The reason C is the best beginner programming language is because it teaches you how to program, plain and simple. It's as close as you can get to pure programming.

So basically what I read in >>23
about how C is as close to assembly as you can get, was correct?

Pure programming, eh?
That would be Lisp, or it would be anything turing equivalent. It would be... arithmetical statements and logic.

Pureness is a subjective property that someone defines for themselves, hence nobody can be delusional when defining what is essentially their personal opinion about a meaningless word.

Purity is not subjective.

C is closer to pure programming than Visual Basic. End of discussion.

It means different things to different people. You're just refusing to acknowledge the fact that other people have different opinions than you.

Not the OP, but I was reading K&R as well and I something has been confusing me.

In the book, they use have code like this:



#include <stdio.h>



main() {

  int c;

  

  while((c = getchar()) != EOF)

    putchar(c);

}

Problem is this produces an infinite loop for me since it never gets to EOF...

That program is supposed to read from a file, not your keyboard. try ./out < infile -- it should cat the file to stdout.
