C: Good Habits re: Transitioning to C++

Question

I\'ve been learning C at Varsity for just shy of 2months now, and next year we\'ll be moving on to C++.

Are there any habits I should get into with my C programmin

Answer 1

C++ programs are totally different. you had better spend your time learning C++ than working on C elements trying to improve them for C++.

For example even the simple 'Hello World' program, differs considerably:

C:

#include 
int main(void)
{
  printf("Hello, world!\n");
  return 0;
}

C++:

#include 
int main()
{
   std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}

(Examples from here).

As 'printf' is a function whereas 'cout' is not a function but an instance of an ostream class.
