Howdy Cor,

A reference by value to what, I wonder?

Hi Fergus.

I was lining up with my mouse, but could not find what it was, and as you
know those OT threads from Herfrid become intresting when the start to
become long.

ByRef? ByVal? ByEggs?

???

Fergus was talking about a reference by value. So I thought I'd share
passing an entire object, passing a 32-bit heap pointer, or passing it by
egg. ByUPS might be a bit faster, but it's an overnight delivery.

I think the quote was something along the lines: "C makes it easy to shoot
your own foot, C++ alows you to reuse the bullet"

In C, we had to code our own bugs. In C++ we can inherit them.

maybe it's a misquote - but this is what I found.

Hi Sean,

Yes, that's the one I remember and it still makes me laugh!!

The .NET version doesn't have the same impact at all:
"VB.NET makes it possible to get a paper-cut - C# does too, and you
can also get a splinter."

Referring to your previous post, I'd certainly recommend learning C# as
well. It has advantages that VB doesn't, language-wise, but is not the strange
beast that C++ is, relative to VB.

One nice thing about C# is that some things which don't make sense, or are
a bit fuzzy, become much clearer when you learn the C# version.

Your professor is right about the numbers - but that's always been the
case with Basic versus the world of languages. He's wrong about it being the
future though, - it's just a part of the future.

I've heard rumbles that C# commands more dosh, but haven't confirmed this.
But in view of the numbers game, scarcity = value.

Regards,
Fergus

Am working on a degree in microcomputers and networking systems. Discovered
a liking for programming after a couple of Q-Basic and now VB.Net classes
(this .NET is an amazing tool), but haven't decided in which direction to go
after this semester. C# may be it.
Thanks for the input.

Hi Sean,

LOL. Sorry to any ardent VBers.

Microcomputers and networking systems??

C# all the way - unless you go for C++.
