A day to think

I have got half of today off college and am gonna be thinking about a lot of things including a contest. Thats right a contest!!

I am still looking for a forum to join and show off my work.
I have also a article in the making that I think some people might be interested in.
I'm now half way through the first month and am not sure if I can make it to my goal.

Well I'm off to do some more coding and finish up on other things so I have more time to code.

Programs, programs and more programs

I will be trying to put out as many programs as i possibly can in the next few weeks as the more I do the more (hopefully) the code will stick in my memory.

To start it all off in about five minutes I made this addition program using functions.
It is very simple but I hope to add to it so you can multiply/divide/minus the the two numbers.
You can download it here.

I should be making at least one new program every day. Although if I get the chance two or three.

The $200 Bet

I was talking to my friend and he said if I can become a moderately good coder with C++ in the 2 months he would give me $200.
And it goes both ways so if i don't make it to my goal i will have to give him $200.

Now i don't normally bet but i think this will encourage me as I don't wish to lose that $200.
Right now I'm so busy and I have to try so hard to get some time to code.

Lets hope I win the $200.

A program to teach me to program

While I was reading through chapter 2 it was talking about the different Data types that you can store your variables as. Although it said a newbie should not worry about the different data types as much I will because of my goal.

While I was thinking about the best way to remember them I was also trying to think of a new program I could make.
Then it came to me why not make a program that would help me learn about the different variables.
I would just get the program to ask a question and i would have to reply to it.

This would give me the opportunity to use functions and see how I am coming along.

Chapter 1

I got reading the 1st chapter of the book C++ Primer.
Its good cause it gets strait into it and covers most subjects and then in later chapters goes into more details.

I had my first look at classes and I can see how they would be a huge part of coding programs with C++.
Apparently the more than 450,000 people have learnt C++ from their previous books, lets hope that I'm one more that they can add to the list.
I'm also looking at joining a forum which I can get help from and show off my work.
So if you know any good ones please tell me.

Now I'm gonna get started on chapter 2 which focuses on variables and Basic Types.
