C programming help

[Groundhog]

I am taking programming classes at school. The trouble is that I missed a few rather important lessons, and so there are certain things that I don't know, and don't know how to find out because I'm not quite sure what they are in the first place.

So...Does anyone know of a site where I can chat with or at least PM someone who can help me out?

The best site for looking anything up to do with C++ is http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ But, it's C++ not C. To be honest, you can just use this (http://www.google.com) to find any programming issue within minutes usually.

All you need are the man pages. Anything you forget in C, you just type "man <word>" and there you go.

Assuming you're working under any common Unix environment. If you're not, then, um, see the other posts.

Usually google is enough if you know the name of the topics. Or ask around here. I know I'd rather babble on about pointers than get work done during the day.

If that's the case, do you mind if I PM you with questions?

You might want to just post them publicly, I'm sure there are many C programmers around. I know I'd rather babble about pointers than go to sleep at the moment. (C programmers love to babble about pointers.)

Edit: I also second Yarram's link. C++-oriented though the site may be, there is a section for the C library (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/), which is excellent and which will probably answer many of your questions(e.g. "how do I use printf (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf/)?"). (This is because the C library is accessible from C++, which can almost be considered a superset of C.)

You can also shoots PMs my way if you need any C/C++ advice, it sure excites the mind more that working on my V-VM-M line of business C# / WPF application. ^^
Or post stuff here.

Or even, if you're on gmail chat / msn or just about anything I can get to run without too much hassle, chat.

You're more than welcome to, but c is not my specialty by any stretch of the imagination.

EDIT2: I'd also rather babble on about pointers than go to the dentist :smallbiggrin:

Feel free to send me questions as well. At least I'll be using my degree for something then. Or just post them publicly, there's plenty of us around who can help.
