| Yes, you can code with both C and C++ with it. One of the main differences between C and C++ is that C++ is an object oriented language. |

| When I compile a C program it went from 440 bytes to 439 Kilobytes. Is that normal, because when you compile something isn't it suppposed to get smaller? |

Absolutely not. The source code is just plain text, when you compile you get a lot of instructions that can take anywhere from one to a dozen bytes in size. In addition, all the library functions you used get attached to your program. printf(), for example, takes up quite a few kilobytes (all that functionality). Still a lot less than what cout uses, though. |

I think C has some different statements than C++, I'm not sure but I think some if not all of those also work in C++ (if you use a compiler that can handle both?).
I think another differene is that C doesn't have classes but structs, not sure though.

Visual C++ 6.0 Professional here.
If you need a good free compiler, download Borland C++ Builder. I think it's a 30-day trail but you can get cracks/keys through the usual channel.
Ugh, I think I need to relearn C++ soon. |
