C++ programming style

Question

I\'m an old (but not too old) Java programmer, that decided to learn C++. But I have seen that much of C++ programming style, is... well, just damn ugly!

All that stuff

Answer 1

That's not ugly at all. I would say it is... mhhh different. Bringing your old style to a new platform, that's ugly (I have had a lot of discussions about this with Mr. Skeet).

Remember Java was defined years after C++, so it is reasonable they've fixed some constructs (in the same fashion C# learn from Java).

So, I would suggest to keep in that C++ style.

Think about this. Header files are like interface declarations and cpp files are implementation.

I think C++ does not have "interface" keyword, and this is the way you separate the interface of a class from its implementation. Similar to this in Java:

public interface Some { 
    public void method();
}

public class SomeImpl implements Some { 
    public void method(){}
}
