Uderstanding terminology
This may sound stupid, but I am so it doesn't matter :-)
Is there a site I could go to, or a 'Dictionary' I could use to quickly look up terms/short hand/slangs for C++. I see with many programming languages (I learned this with PHP) That there can often be slang (or just short hand) that could and does mean different things at different times. This can confuse some people, like me.
One term I don't understand is the term routine. How is it used in programming and in written documents (ie is routine another word for function).
Thanks

For computer slang, "The Jargon File". For computer jargon, Wikipedia has definitions for practically everything.
