Come on, Roger, switch to C!!! - Skywise - 01-03-2014
Just kidding. I know you would totally hate it. I'm having fun wrapping my head around a few things myself, particularly regarding strings. Strict C does not have a string data type. C++ adds it, and there's multiple implementations and libraries. I do understand why it's this way, though. Higher level languages simplify it at the expense of speed by creating a virtual string data type. It makes sense when you realize there is no string data type in CPU architecture. It's ALL just numbers in the end.
