hello,

I want to improve on.C and C++ on.
What can I do for it.
I know C and C + + language.sentax level.
I'll be very happy if you share with me your ideas.

thanks.

The only way to improve is to practice.

Start writing programs. Try to do things that are just a little outside your comfort zone in order to push yourself to learn more things.

In addition to Disch's comment, reading well written code helps too. In this open source age, there are plenty of examples out there.

Along with practicing, re-read any C++ books you've read before. Every time you read it you'll pick up something new, i promise you that.

Every tool is powerful if only u know to use it!
----to see powerfulness of your brain in C++ just program more than more

I would rather say: in this open source age, there are plenty of bad examples out there.
But you can learn also from bad examples.

Usually the bad examples are in the public domain, not FLOSS

xorebxebx: I would rather say: ... there are plenty of bad examples out there.

The source code for the BSDs, the GNU Toolset, OS kernels, Windowing systems, Language sources, projects from Apache and so on are all openly available. Why would you look for bad code and do you know of closed source projects that are better than these? Pessimism accomplishes nothing, and doesn't help an enquiring mind.

read effective c++ by scott meyers, i love that book
Sep 9, 2010 at 8:13pm
Oh, that's the one I'm picking up next ^^

Oooh, Effective C++. That's a good book.

Once you're done with that, I recommend More Effective C++ and Design Patterns.

Wonderful. I've got a list going, lol. Accelerated C++ is really nice too, for an intermediate user.

Another thing to check out on this site if you haven't already is: http://www.cplusplus.com/src/

Look through few of these programs, make some tweaks and get them to do what you want. This way you get practice reading code and integrating your own changes into already written code. A lot of programmers end up inheriting/updating/patching/modifying existing code, so it helps to have some practice reading and interpreting other people's code.
