Help a noob learn C.

[lirkaren]

I have decided to learn C so I can make programs for the Prizm, hopefully.

I don't know anything about programing, the only thing I know is the basic stuff with a computer and some PS and 3DS MAX.

Right now I am on a old slow computer running Windows 8.

I have Checked some threds about learning C for the prizm but I don't get it all, what to use etc.

"What You'll Need
:: Casio fx-9860 SDK: Note that you need to have an fx-9860 calculator to download this SDK"

http://www.fishbot.co.cc/downloads/fx9860sdk.html This link seems to be down for me so I cant get that.

What SDK should I use? GCC?

If theres a guide on how to set everything up it would be great.

Thanks!

Prizm GCC SDK setup guide.
That'll get you up and running, but won't help with figuring out what you're doing in C. Someone else can probably offer resources on that, as I don't know of any good ones offhand.

When I get on my computer (on my 3DS right now) I'll post all my getting started tutorials for you. In the mean time you need to learn C. I prefer a book to learn but it is up to you. I would start by googleing a C tutorial, there are some good ones out there.
Here you go

I am reading some tutorials but I think im kinda' slow...
"if ( 5 < 10 )
printf( "Five is now less than ten, that's a big surprise" );
Here, we're just evaluating the statement, "is five less than ten", to see if it is true or not; with any luck, it's not! If you want, you can write your own full program including stdio.h and put this in the main function and run it to test."

Anyone that can show me how to do this program? All I can do now is "hello world" and make a program that tells me to press a number then says what number I pressed....

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?


using System;
namespace Project1
{
class Class1
{
public.static.void Main(string[] args);
{
int x = 78;
Console.Write(x);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

That is indeed nothing even remotely related to C/C++. And I'm a bit sickened by how much C# looks like Java, to be honest, with that public.static.void main.

Yes the guide is for C# and Visual Studio.
but I still don't get what I am doing wrong (noob).

I recommend that between C and C++, you learn C first, since (and don't you dare go all pedant on me, guys) almost all valid C code is also valid C++ code, but all valid C++ code is absolutely not valid C code. Thus, find yourself some decent C tutorials and go to it! Although I always find that I learn best by mostly playing with, modifying, and teasing apart existing code.

As for recommended tutorials, I personally like throwing this at people because it's rather well done, and teaches everything you'll need to know to get yourself up to speed in C. http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c-tutorial.html

I think I will start with C++ becouse the videos are in swedish and he explains pretty good so I think it will be more easy for me to do that.

That is what I kind of did, I learned C++ partly. Then I switched over and started C, let me tell you it can be a bit confusing. As Kerm said some C++ code doesn't translate or work in C. So I also recommend learning C first. Good luck and have fun.
