C++ and vC++ wats the difference
yeah im a noob at this so im wondering wats the difference between c++ and VC++
C++ is a programming language.

VC++ is the abbreviation for Visual C++, the Microsoft C++ compiler. If you're wondering what a compiler is, it turns human readable code into machine readable code.

Yes, C++ is a programming language, it is C with Classes; hence the post-incremental operator.

Now, VC++ does stand for Visual C++, and it does come with a compiler, but it is NOT a compiler it is an IDE which stands for Integrated Development Environment. VC++ also allows the use of MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library -- which is an application framework by wrapping portions Windows API into classes), it also is a very sophisticated debugger for most C++ applications written specifically for the Windows Environment.

The list can continue to go on, but I would rather not spoil that for you as you can easily do a search and probably find out for yourself.
A little late don't you think?
