Lua is the easiest language. And if he is autistic, that's nothing to be ashamed of; He might not be as socially skilled, but most autists I've met are EXTREMELY good at one particular skill, as if all of their resources were drawn towards one thing.

int main

Now, I don't know why it's an int. Having come from C# you'd hope that main was a void or something instead

Main should be like this
void main(void){

}
At the bottom of your program.

It's an int because your program can return a status code. Usually 1=OK and 0=ERROR but you pretty much decide what your status codes mean.

"are you autistic?"
I'm autistic, but C++ is still a pain. (Same with C#)
Mostly the transition between languages, though.

I think g++ asks you to make main() return an int.

This is a signature. Recommended username: DispensableGskw

Transitioning from Lua to any kind of language along the lines of C++, C#, Java, etc. is going to be quite the learning curve since Lua is just a scripting language while the likes of C++, C# and Java are all heavy programming languages.

Well, aside from Lua being easier.
If you make the transition, you need to know about "Classes" and "Structs", and such, as well as data types. There are quite a few other reasons why C++ would be harder, however.

if you're going to learn c++ try learning php or JS first.

I was familiar with the syntax when I was learning c++

not necessarily

if you come in with a knowledge of loops, if/then statements, functions/methods, it becomes a lot easier


of course if you learned Lua >= PHP or Ruby >= Python >= Java it would probably be easiest

PHP and Ruby would make it easier because you'd learn about OOP

you're all just thinking way ahead of yourselves. c++ is not a hard language to learn as to lua, but it has it's conditions, pros and cons that you must endeavor; but you need to know your windows computer and it's functionality well before you start programming. sure the syntax is ugly, mine us uglier. get used to it, stop whining about it, no one cares what you think about it - especially MS. The only problem i'de have to say getting used to is the IDE, I prefer VS13.



don't use code::blocks, its stupid and ugly k

code::blocks or Visual Studio is pretty much the standard when it comes to C++, it's undeniably one of the more difficult languages to wrap your head around. Just because YOU pick it up quickly doesn't mean than 99% of other people do.
