My dream begin....since 2 days i learning C

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello at all my friends

Since 2 days i'm the more happy programmer of the world.... see my teeth

Because since twenty years i dream to programming in C, and never dare to try
So thanks to PB, now i can begin to learn the C

I'm very surprising to see, how my god have keep the format of the C for do his baby
Sometime...i believe i'm in my favorite language, but no....i'm in C

I see the same things (Callback, API with no declaration like loving PB, etc ...)
Yes, C is apparently much more difficult than PB, but FRED is a love, and he not want create another owner language, for make loose his clients in all this personals functions

So i want to continue my project of a PB2C translater...
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 37#p316737

Someone say that perhaps FRED can easily export C code of his compiler, i don't know if it's true ???

I know that nobody have interesting by that , and everybody laugh when i propose that, but if i can translate 60% of PB, i'm not forcing to remember the complex syntax of the C, and just programming in PB for making C code or PB Code

So for do that, i need a little bit of help of my PB friends who know C
I'm actually on a C forum, but sometime ....your advice is very very important for little KCC

Well ..when i have a question, i put it here, and if one or several member have the kindness to help me a little bit, i can perhaps do my children DREAM

Thank you very much in advance
Kcc the eternal programming dreamer

Believe you it's dangerous to put the SWITCH on the While/Event loop ??

Code: Select all

while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
       TranslateMessage(&msg);
       DispatchMessage(&msg);
    }

Because apparently the callback is the first way for detect windows events in C

But i want to know if, i can do like in PB...
Use the Event loop for the simple Event and remove the CALLBACK procedure...and just use callback, if i want numerous event or quick event

[utopiomania]

? Are you talking about C#, C++, or just plain C? If its the latter, stick to Basic instead.
I programmed in C, and fell into the trap of writing code so elegant I cant't comprehend
what it was supposed to do anymore.

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello UTOPIOMANIA

I talk about the one, alone and big C
C like Creator and base of nearly all what is exist like language

[utopiomania]

Ok, the big C, nothing less. Cool, and good luck to you!

My C codes is on a 20cm high stack of 3.5" disks, so I can't help you with any examples right now.

Actually, they just caught fire. I hate C, I think. Anyways, good luck.

My C codes is on a 20cm high strack

You can when even say your advice for my question if you have do C, about the loop of event ????
Is it possible or not to put directly the Switch inside ???

Anyways, good luck.

Thanks, i believe i need much much chance, you have right
So when i know nothing in PB, and less in C....it's a real adventure
The advantage with me, it's i'm not affraid because i don't know anything
It's the advantage of the uncultivated

I begin just to write the first function to translate "Enumeration"
The baby is again in my belly....i can even say...the ovule is again in my belly, that the more correct word

I want do function after function, first with the more simple...and even if i can not terminate all, and the code is translated at 60%, it's already better that nothing no ???

Me i like C....but i love PB and FRED much more....and with the power of PB we always say, we can do all the miracle..
It's the time to proof that

Thanks to your answer

Dear Kwaï chang caïne,
I wish good success with your joyful jump into C

If you like to have a large repository of well garded running code examples in direct comparison, then have a look at RosettaCode (scroll down and choose one of the challenges). There you'll find PureBasic represented with already 341 solved solutions and C with 365.

(Tip: there's also a hard to come upon special page: Basic language learning)

nice greetings ~ Vera

[Mistrel]

All my "C" code is in "C++". You're on your own, Kwaï.



Good luck.

All my "C" code is in "C++". You're on your own, Kwaï.



Good luck.

Finally you found a good situation for this smiley.

Finally you found a good situation for this smiley.

I thought it was pretty clever as well.

It was Vera's emoticon that gave me the idea.

[Kwai chang caine]

@VERA
Thanks for the link, i have forgotten the rosetta way
I take a look also to the other link

@MISTREL
It's a pity
I believe there are much member who know the C in this forum

I continue alone like usually

Thanks when even for your answer
I wish at you two a good day

[Kwai chang caine]

In fact the real question is :

Do you think that FRED use when even and in all case, the Callback when he have created the function

Code: Select all

Repeat  
  
 Evenement = WaitWindowEvent()
  
 Select Evenement
  
  Case #PB_Event_Gadget
    
   EvenementGadget = EventGadget()
     
 EndSelect
   
Until Evenement = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

[milan1612]

Code: Select all

while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
       TranslateMessage(&msg);
       DispatchMessage(&msg);
    }

Seeing this piece of code I can't resist giving you some advice.

What you're writing here is C like it's being used in the Windows API. You shouldn't use
the Windows API when you're just about to learn C. The Windows API is one of the ugliest
pieces of C code I've ever seen. It won't teach you good C programming.

You really should start to learn the language first, then the libraries. Write a small
console application without using anything but the standard C libraries. Become famliliar
with common patters used in C programs.

I fell for this trap too, trust me...


Or better yet, learn C++ from the start

[Kwai chang caine]

Thanks to your advice MILAN1612

I know you have right
But my goal is to can create my translater PB/C
And especially how create a windows with API

But in the same time, i learn a little bit the C, and especially how use IDE VC6++

It's a hard works especially for little KCC, i move slowly, but i move.
If i like do the C, obviously i continue to learn with good method..

And i want to stay in C, not C++, i don't like POO too, it's for this reason that i love and use also PB, i just like procedural programming

I know KCC do always all the things back to front
I hate the console, and never do something with it, even in PB

I know i have wrong, but if i don't see a windows ..i'm sad
It's a reason why, i never use linux too

Thanks to your advice very important for me
At the pleasure to read you
