http://www.cprogramming.com
http://www.xtremejava.com/books/index.html (download and read "Thinking in C++", 2nd Ed., Volumes 1 and 2)

Also, Google for C/C++/whatever tutorials. They exist in abundance on the web.

Good luck,

Should be either:

Code:

int main(){
return 0;
}


or...

Code:

void main(){

}


for good programming habits....

For truely good habits, you should never use void main().
The point of using int main() is to return a success/failure code back to the operating system upon exit of the program. If you use void main() (which some compilers will complain if you do) then you are passing nothing back to the os.

Void main is used in Windows programming and int main is the standard de facto for system stuff

What kind of applications do you write with void main in windows?
Granted, the microsoft compiler will not complain about you using the void main contruct, but if it is a windows program (at least with MFC) then you are using the CApp class for C++ and int WinMain() for C.

If I am wrong on this, please let me know.

As for learning C, start by reading the bible until you know it by heart: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...1267993-4448103

You are not a true C-programmer until you have read it.
