printf("This is a line\nFollowed by a number, %d, that could be anything, even the value of a pointer!\nAnd here is a formatted number, the easy way: %.8d!\n8 digit hex? %.8x!\nAnd it works in BOTH C and C++!","The location of this string will be used as the first number, as C has no type checking. You DO NOT need to cast unsigned char to char or back",0x7634,14367);

Pre-post-edit:
It worked perfectly ran through both gcc and g++.

All you people using cout << "whatever" DO realize that you are giving up on your fine control of number formatting?

C#:
Console.Out.WriteLine("{0} has {1} apples.", "Bob", 29);
Oh wait, I want to reverse the order that those arguments appear.
Console.Out.WriteLine("{1} apples: {0}.", "Bob", 29);
Sure is a good thing I wasn't using C++, or I'd have to change the code in order to make what should be a purely data change!

Seriously, C# is like the only modern language that's even HEARD of localization.

But how do you specify the diffrence between a 4 digit hex(0f3b, 0002, fff4), a generic integer(463472, 247, 0), writing to file, console, or string?
Character vs string?
Float, double, octal?

Wikipedia says that you CAN specify the order, it is simply OPTIONAL(And not included in some compilers)

"%[parameter][flags][width][.precision][length]type"
parameter:
n$:
 n is the number of the parameter to display using this format specifier, allowing the parameters provided to be output multiple times, using varying format specifiers or in different orders. This is a POSIX extension and not in C99. Example: printf("%2$d %1$#x %1$d",16,17) produces "17 0x10 16"

Also look at printf, fprintf, and sprintf, all using the standard formatting.

Python is literal, type it AND IT HAPPENS!!

Don't lesson to these silly billy boys. You want to learn intercal. .

Actually, if you really want to get into coding, I suggest you start with C

http://aelinik.free.fr/c/index.html

This is the best guide you will ever get for it in my opinion, I love it. C isn't hard to learn, it's like learning english in a sense... It'll eventually just work. After C, you could move on to C++, which is a very nice language. You could just skip to C++, but I like the idea of learning C first.

This is the compiler I use, it also tells you what you did wrong, although it can be a bit cryptic. It's a very nice tool.

Hmm... I change my stance after seeing some stuff at uni. Learn C. Then learn C++, because it's similar, with some improvements. If it's something you want on a resume, you have two programming languages

It's an old language, not as good as the others, but any programmer worth a damn knows C. My lecturer is a genius who got his PhD from UCLA and works with storing light as memory, and he doesn't know Javascript. Maybe not even Python.

So, C. Because it's the language everyone speaks.

Damn straight  .

C is very powerful when used right. Quelsolaar.com is a prime example.

Augh! If you want to learn c++, learn that and not C. if you are after the creed or spped of C, learn assembly. If you want to just learn something that is easy and lets you do programming stuff, learn python or java.

Learn C first. Than move to C++. .

[cowofdoom78963]

or... Learn c++ like I did and then learn c.

[Yanlin]

Learn ALL OF THEM!

[Muz]

Some people from the 80s generation use C, but not C++. And a lot of stuff also uses plain C. If you're trying to get along with other coders, learn to use C. You could master C++ and do stuff with it, but heck, if you never learn C in the first place, you'll probably never bother.

[sonerohi]

Meh, just go with C++ then. It's not the best in the world, but everyone expects you to know it. It's like English

BUT ITS HARD!!!!

I want to program while I'm still in my highschool... Not when I go to college. (OK, I want to go to MIT, but that's out of the question for now)

  You can learn in high school. I learned Java while in high school. C++ is easier, IMHO.

I learned C++ in the eight grade, and over the summer going into freshmen year...

Learn C++ and Python.
Then write your own language that combines the two.
After that, use Brainfuck to create a roguelike with a similar level of complexity to the major RLs. And put it on Roguebasin. Don't include a compiled version. Have people compile it from the sourcecode.
Finally, build a robot with a super-advanced AI created from all you know about programming languages.

When you have done everything on this list, you will have ascended to programming language godhood.
Enjoy your throne next to the Random Number God Arenji.
