C/C++ - two questions...
 

I want to learn C and C++ but i do not know where to start... I mean... I'am using slackware 10.1...

1. do i need any special program to write the code?? or can I use any text editor and save it as *.c ???

2. How do I compile the code?? and How to run it??

any help would be appreciated...

Your questions are not specific to Slackware, you should post this to the programmer's forum.
But anyway:
1: any
2: gcc <source.c>
should get you started.

sorry... didn't know....

thankx 4 the answer...

And C++ code can be compiled with g++, e.g.

g++ hello.cpp

It is usual to at least specify an output file (or the output file will be a.out):

gcc -o hello hello.c
g++ -o hello hello.cpp

If I may give you an advice: if you start C++ programming it may be interesting to look at the Qt toolkit. In contrast to what many people believe this is not just a widget toolkit, but it is a fairly complete class library that has classes for regular expressions, I/O, threads, XML, etc. plus some STL-like container classes. Qt is available from the kde diskset, and includes excellent documentation (via assistant) and a GUI designer (designer). There also is a very good book in PDF format:
